Frequently Asked Questions

Why do credit unions have lower credit card rates?

Credit unions are member-owned nonprofits. Instead of returning profits to shareholders, they pass savings back to members in the form of lower loan rates โ€” including credit cards. The average credit union card APR is typically 4โ€“6 percentage points lower than bank cards.

Can anyone get a credit union credit card in Washington?

You must be a member first. Most community credit unions in Washington accept anyone who lives, works, or worships in their service area. Once you join (often with just a $5 savings deposit), you can apply for any product they offer.

Are these APRs accurate?

These rates come from NCUA Call Report (5300) filings โ€” the quarterly financial data all federally insured credit unions must submit to their regulator. They reflect each credit union's reported weighted-average card APR. Your actual rate will depend on your credit score and the specific card product offered.

Do credit union credit cards have rewards?

Many do โ€” cash back, points, or miles โ€” but the focus is on low rates rather than maximum rewards programs. If you carry a balance, the lower APR will save you far more than rewards points. If you pay in full monthly, compare rewards programs alongside the APR.

Lower APR Matters More Than Rewards

On a $3,000 balance, a 10% APR vs. 20% APR saves $300/year in interest. No rewards program comes close to that. Credit union cards are the right call if you ever carry a balance.

Balance Transfers

Many credit unions in Washington offer balance transfer options to move high-rate bank card debt onto a lower-APR credit union card. Ask about transfer fees and promotional rates when you apply.
