“We are so honored by this recognition, which is a testament to our mutual banking business model of putting relationships above the bottom line,” Josh Deck, OlyFed President & CEO said. “We’ve been a part of the Yelm community for close to a decade now and we’ve loved supporting local business expansion, housing growth and the investment in community organizations and the local schools.

“It’s so special to see that care and efforts we’ve put into the community are so valued by our friends and neighbors in the prairie and that they’ve chosen us as their favorite local financial partner.”

“I am very proud of our Yelm branch team who have been so involved with our community over the years from working with Boys & Girls Clubs and Yelm Dollars for Scholars to the Yelm Chamber of Commerce and Yelm Community Schools,” Nicole Montoya, Yelm Branch Manager said.

“Earlier this year we launched our Pride of the Prairie campaign to support after school programs for middle and high school students after the local levy funding fell through. Seeing our team come together to create meaningful change is both inspiring and rewarding. We are so grateful for this recognition!”
