More About Us
Committed to Life-Long Learning
One of our core values is a commitment to life-long learning, which is why we invest in financial education for both our customers and our community. Regardless of what stage of life you’re in, we’re here to help maximize your resources so you can achieve your greatest pursuits.
A Different Kind of Business Model
Our core mission is focused on what we do with our resources to better serve the needs of our employees, customers and community. Since the beginning, our founders had a belief that our business model could be different than others and in doing so our positive influence could be far-reaching.
Reinvesting in Our Communities
With loans and deposits staying local, you can rest-assured knowing your dollars are reinvested back into the community in which you work and live. This improves our local education systems, social services and municipalities, which in turn help strengthen property values and our local quality-of-life.
Dedicated to Non-Profits
As Lynne Twist shares in her book The Soul of Money:
“Money carries our intention. If we use it with integrity, then it carries our integrity forward. When you make a difference with what you have, it expands. What you appreciate, appreciates.” We can’t think of a better description of our business plan and values in action.
Accountable to You. Not Stockholders.
I have been banking with Oly Fed for almost 20 years. I find their service to be top notch! The staff work hard to know you by name, and you are greeted warmly when you come in. They take time to understand whatever you are there for and to help ensure your needs are met with professionalism and courtesy. They keep up with the going interest rates on lans and CDs. They are never pushy, but will work with you to see what is possible with loans and CDs.
I have been banking with OlyFed for many years. Excellent service and friendly staff. Very involved with the local community. They support many different non-profits.
Great bank, professional service, top notch building. I will only bank with Olympia Federal!
