Sound Credit Union was founded in 1940 by 51 Pacific Telephone and Telegraph co-workers who banded together with the goal of giving themselves and their families’ easier access to loans and better protection for their savings than they could get from banks. They pooled $106.50 to start Tacoma Telco Credit Union and, since then, that original stake has grown to more than $1 billion. Today, Sound Credit Union has 23 full service branches in the Puget Sound area and nearly 100,000 member-owners. Our name has changed over the years, but our mission remains the same: to provide high-quality, high-value financial products and services to our member-owners. We never forget it’s your money. If you are someone who is passionate about helping people with real life needs, you’ve come to the right place. Sound Credit Union offers competitive wages, generous benefits, and a great workplace environment. We are looking for new team members who have the ability to interact with people in a caring manner, possess a can-do approach, look for ways to say “yes,” and would never voice the words “that’s not my job.” If you believe “customer service” is not a department, but rather an attitude, we invite you to apply.

Royal Credit Union was made up of just 100 Members when we were organized in April 1964 to serve the employees of Uniroyal and their families. In November of 1972, Royal was granted permission to add other employee groups to its membership and over the next two years we did just that, bringing 27 new groups into the family. That popularity told us we were ready for a community charter. With more than 200,000 Members today, on the surface we don`t really look like we did when we just occupied a small office in a tire plant. But there are many, many things that have remained true from day one. They are highlighted in our Core Values, which you will find on this page and posted in each of our offices. More importantly, you will find these Core Values instilled in each of our team members, who make sure to listen to your story and help you in any way they can. Federally insured by NCUA.
