Rivermark Community Credit Union, Beaverton, Oregon, is both proud and excited to be one of only three credit unions in the country to be selected in June 2023 to participate in the two-year Underwriting for Racial Justice pilot program. The program will run through May 2025.

We are intentional about taking actions that result in meaningful impact for the communities we serve.
