Community Partnerships Point West is a 100% not-for-profit, member-owned credit union with active community partnerships (Forth Mobility, Prosper Portland, Portland General Electric, and OHSU collaborations). This demonstrates openness to co-branded, ESG-focused programs and small business lending initiatives that support underserved communities, creating partnership-driven sales opportunities such as tailored loan products, sponsorships, and collaborative financial programs with local institutions.

Green Mobility Financing This credit union has demonstrated appetite for mobility-related financing via an e-bike loan program with OHSU. There is a clear opportunity to expand into EV loans, charging infrastructure financing, and other sustainable transportation initiatives with local employers and hospitals, aligning with their sustainability focus.

Multilingual Digital Banking With bilingual staff and a WordPress-based site, Point West is positioned to attract diverse members online. Opportunities include multilingual digital banking tools, customer support, and financial education resources, along with marketing automation and CRM integrations to boost member engagement and cross-sell.

Growth-Ready Partner As a small-to-mid-sized credit union (11-50 employees; revenue 10-25M), Point West benefits from scalable, cost-effective tech and compliance solutions. Sales opportunities include affordable core banking add-ons, cybersecurity and cloud hosting, data analytics for lending to local small businesses, and services that support regional growth or partnerships with nonprofits.

Inclusion Focus They emphasize inclusion and serving underserved communities. This creates openings for financial literacy programs, credit-building products, micro-loans, and grant-aligned partnerships with nonprofits, banks and government programs to expand community credit access.
