STCU (Spokane Teachers Credit Union) is a federally insured, member-owned cooperative operating $5 billion in assets across Washington, North Idaho, and Oregon. Founded in 1934, the institution serves approximately 250,000 members through nearly 900 employees, providing retail and business banking, investment services, credit cards, and lending products from its Liberty Lake headquarters.
The organization's technical footprint spans retail and business banking infrastructure, payment card systems, lending platforms, investment service backends, and member-facing digital channels. As a financial institution managing member deposits, extending credit, and processing transactions across multiple states, STCU operates within the regulatory framework of federal NCUA oversight and maintains the security requirements inherent to handling sensitive financial data at scale.
STCU's cooperative structure and community orientation - evidenced by the Here for Good Foundation's grantmaking in education, arts, and economic development - shape its operational priorities. The member-owned model means security and operational resilience directly affect a defined constituency reliant on the institution's continuity and trustworthiness.
