History
Portland Gasco Federal Credit Union (today known as Trailhead Federal Credit Union) was founded in October 1935. It was during the great depression and there was a great need for small salary advances and loans. A group of 11 Portland Gas and Coke employees, with the approval of their company, organized the credit union to benefit all employees of the company. The purpose of the credit union was to provide a safe place for fellow gas company employees to save and borrow money at reasonable rates. In June of 2013, Northwest Resource Federal Credit Union changed its name to Trailhead Credit Union in effort to better distinguish itself in the marketplace. Trailhead Credit Union remains dedicated to supporting the community that we have been a part of for 79 years and rewarding the people who have helped us become who we are today.
