Community Impact
Sound Credit Union has been part of the Puget Sound region since 1940. This is our home and we are dedicated to making it a better place for those around us.
Over 4,500 hours volunteered
Each year, every Sound employee gets up to a day’s pay to volunteer in our local communities. With over 4,500 hours volunteered in 2016, our employees are giving their time to make the areas we live a better place.
120 donations to local community organizations
Youth clubs, local schools, parks departments, community festivals, and farmers markets. Large and small, last year we helped 120 local community organizations buy equipment, create community space, offer family focused activities and more.
