Our story began on September 5th, 1928 when 36 employees joined together to form a credit union. They created a true financial cooperative, each contributing what they could to help one another. Members were able to borrow at lower rates, enjoy higher earnings, and pay lower fees than they would at a corporate bank. After more than 90 years of safe and sound financial management by our member-owners, Advantis has grown to become Oregon’s 6th largest credit union, over 75,000 members strong. While we may have grown a great deal from our humble beginnings, our core purpose has remained the same: to help our members find security and success in their financial lives.

We’re not a big bank or a small bank – we’re a better way to bank! Advantis is a not-for-profit financial cooperative, owned by our members and dedicated to their financial success. Instead of returning earnings to corporate stockholders (like big banks do), we return them to our members in the form of better rates, lower fees, and more free services. We are dedicated to building trusted relationships with our members. We’re personally invested in helping our members achieve their financial dreams. Whether you are saving for your first car, your first home, or your retirement, Advantis is here to help you reach your goals. Advantis is a full service financial institution. From mortgages, credit cards, and personal loans to checking accounts, IRAs, CDs and retirement planning – we offer everything you need to help you reach your goals. Banking with us adds value to your community. We donate time and money to help our local communities grow stronger.
