Mid Oregon Credit Union, the only financial institution headquartered in Central Oregon, has announced that it has grown to 48,000 members as of June 30, 2024. Mid Oregon has grown membership by 20 percent over a three-year period.
“While we measure our success by traditional metrics such as membership and loan growth, we place equal importance on the satisfaction of our members by measuring how likely they would refer others to Mid Oregon,” said Kevin Cole, president/CEO of Mid Oregon. “The recognition we receive is a testament to our members’ trust and satisfaction and the amazing work our team does every day to provide quality service.”
Mid Oregon has much to celebrate in recent years, named a top workplace in Oregon two consecutive years and earning the #1 credit union in Oregon two years running from Forbes. The credit union exceeded $736 million in assets in June 2023. A new headquarters branch is currently under construction in Bend’s Old Mill District and slated to open in the early part of 2025.
Other initiatives that contribute to Mid Oregon’s growth rate include its strong presence and support in the community, industry leading digital banking, newly enhanced business services, innovative choices for certificates, and the success of Simply Free Checking accounts. A significant portion of Mid Oregon’s membership growth is referred by existing members.
