School Employees Credit Union of Washington/PEMCO Insurance

School Employees Credit Union of Washington and PEMCO Insurance share their roots with two separate companies, EvergreenBank and PEMCO Corporation. School Employees Credit Union was founded in 1936 by Seattle teacher Robert J. Handy with $5 in capital. It’s now one of the largest and strongest credit unions in the state. Pooled resources - members’ savings accounts - still make low-interest loans possible. PEMCO Insurance, founded in 1949, is a preferred-risk insurer that offers personal auto, home, boat, umbrella, and life insurance to nearly 555,000 Washington residents. PEMCO specializes in coverage for school employees.

Besides serving the needs of their customers and employees, executives of both companies believe in being good corporate citizens. Each year they donate roughly 5 percent of their earnings to charities across Washington.
