History: Established in 1952. This was the year Safeway Seattle Employees' Federal Credit Union was founded by a group of employees working for the Seattle Division of the Safeway grocery store chain. The first office of the credit union was located on Mercer Street in Seattle, Washington. Our name is different - but that is a result of the success we've seen since the first deposit was made in 1952. We continue to serve Safeway employees, but we have also greatly expanded the number of people who can take advantage of membership. With a very diverse group of members including union members, community residents, and employees of more than 300 Washington companies, the name was changed to better reflect the membership diversity. Qualstar Credit Union is now one of the leading credit unions in the state, with six (6) branch locations throughout the Puget Sound region.

💰 What if taking a closer look at your debt could potentiallysave you $19,000 in interest?

That's what happened when a member came to Qualstar looking for help paying off higher-interest credit card debt. While working with him, Jesphin noticed something else worth exploring: his existing Home Equity loan.

After reviewing his current rate, credit, and overall debt, Jesphin found an opportunity to help him lower his borrowing costs even further.

The member refinanced his Home Equity loan at a lower rate and used the additional funds to consolidate his higher-interest credit card balances.

The result? He is projected to save more than $19,000 in interest AND reduced his credit card debt payments by more than $200 a month! 🎉

One conversation. A closer look at the whole financial picture. And a pretty incredible difference.

Could there be an opportunity hiding in your current debt, too? Let's start with a conversation. ☎️ 800-848-0018

🔐 Someone asks you to read them the verification code that just arrived on your phone. Should you?

No.

Verification codes add an important layer of protection to your accounts. If someone asks you for one during an unexpected call or text, it could mean they’re trying to access your account.

Never share:
❌ Verification codes
❌ Online banking passwords
❌ PINs
❌ Security answers

If the request supposedly came from Qualstar, stop the conversation and contact us directly at 800-848-0018.
