Other ways to save
Certificates
When you commit to leaving your money on deposit for a set period of time (intervals range from six months to five years), you can earn a higher dividend rate ― and the rate is guaranteed.
Easy Saver Certificate
Certificates aren’t just for grown-ups. We offer a 12-month certificate for youth as well, so kids and teens can earn higher dividends and make better time on their journey.
Let’s get started
Check your balance and make transfers and deposits from your smartphone.
With mobile banking you can take care of most of your day to day banking needs any time, from almost anywhere.
IRAs
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are a great way to save for retirement, which offer substantial tax benefits for participants who qualify.
HSAs
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) help you set pre-tax dollars aside so you can cover health care expenses later, such as copays, deductibles, prescriptions, even Band-Aids.

We’re a credit union. We’re your community.
Pacific Crest isn’t a bank. We’re a financial co-op owned by 16,000+ people in the Klamath Basin and surrounding rural communities. In 2016 alone, we returned a financial benefit of over $16 million to our home and yours — by reaching out, giving back, and paying it forward.
Reaching out
At Pacific Crest, we build partnerships and provide services designed to make a difference, while devoting hundreds of volunteer hours every year to good causes.
Giving back
We search for organizations that are making a positive impact in our communities, whose work has a ripple effect, and put our dollars where it means the most.
Paying it forward
To help deserving students make a difference, we offer four $1,000 annual scholarships inspired by board members who made a difference at Pacific Crest.
