Quimper Community Federal Credit Union had its humble beginnings when Mr. W.B. Cornett and W.B. (Tommy) Camfield approached the manager of the local Port Townsend paper mill (then called National Association of Paper Products Co.) with the intent of forming a credit union. With the assistance of the Washington State Credit Union League, the Articles of Incorporation were signed and filed to establish the state chartered NAPPCO Credit Union. The first meeting was held on May 4, 1939 with forty employees in attendance, eight attendees deposited to a share account and the credit union was off and running. Eligibility to open an account at that time was limited to paper mill employees and their families. This continued on into the 1960’s when Crown Zellerbach purchased the mill and the credit union changed its name to Crown Z Credit Union. The field of membership remained unchanged and continued to operate on location at the mill.

In 1984, Crown Z sold to a German company. As the founding sponsor was no longer present in this area, the credit union sought to grow and diversify its membership plus claim a new identity under a name that would encompass members other than mill employees. As the city of Port Townsend sits on its own peninsula, the Quimper Peninsula, a new location in town and the new name of Quimper Credit Union was chosen. The credit union was now able to offer accounts to not only the mill employees but to all small businesses and their employees in Port Townsend.

Another name change was made in 1988 when the community charter was approved. Quimper Community Credit Union was set to accept membership from all of East Jefferson County. Plans began in 2003 to build a branch in Port Hadlock, part of that process including the credit union leaving the “state charter” status and becoming a “federal credit union”. Quimper Community Federal Credit Union opened its new branch in Port Hadlock, November 2004, giving added convenience of location to Jefferson County residents.

With the move to federal status, eligibility to join the credit union now includes anyone who works, worships or resides in Jefferson or Clallam County plus any family member of a current member is eligible to open an account. Come see us at either location!
