Visa Credit Card

Our Visa® Credit Card is a way for you to start building credit responsibly.

We encourage students to use their credit card for small necessities they have previously budgeted for or for emergencies. Using a credit card builds your credit history. Having good credit history can help you down the road with vehicle and home purchases, without the need for a co-signer.

The Oregonians Credit Union credit card offers you:

  • Low fixed rate
  • No annual fee
  • No transaction fee
  • 25 day grace period on new purchases
  • View account activity online

Home Loan

Buying a house is probably one of the biggest purchases you will ever make—so it’s important to inform yourself about your mortgage (home loan) options.

Owning a home is the American Dream, but the process of actually finding your dream house, as well as figuring out how to finance it, can often cause stress. At Oregonians CU, we've helped many members become homeowners, and now we're ready to help you.
