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.
