Saving money, making change
Money is power, and where you do your banking makes a difference. At Clearwater Credit Union, we’re committed to using our resources to spark social, economic, and environmental change.
Community giving
In 2017, we donated 7.5% of our net income to non-profit organizations.
Environmental impact
By measuring the energy and water we use, and then working to use less of it in our daily operations, we’re reducing our environmental impact and, we hope, encouraging others to follow our example too. When you bank with us, you’re making change happen.

When the term ends, you get to withdraw your money, along with all the interest it’s accumulated. Term certificates typically earn more interest than a standard savings account, so your money grows faster.
