From modest beginnings to everyday empowerment.

It all started in a shoebox. Starting in 1953, Gesa Credit Union has grown from a part-time office to the second largest credit union in Washington state. Serving over 260,000 members around the world, Gesa has a rich history of providing financial services to Washington state.

Since 1996, when Gesa became a community-chartered credit union and opened its membership range to everyone in Washington, the credit union experienced explosive growth. From inception, consumers embraced the value of banking with a not-for-profit cooperative. Gesa has grown to twenty-seven locations throughout the state but will always maintain a strong commitment to its roots. People in our communities have made Gesa what it is today, and we don’t take that loyalty for granted.

Heritage Bank serves customers like you. Your neighbors. The couple who owns the storefront across town. The customers we serve bring their unique heritage—and unique needs—to our bank.

To help our customers achieve their goals, we offer a complete array of banking services and tools for businesses as well as individuals. Our focus is on our communities: helping customers in our local markets build their heritage.

Heritage Bank was founded in 1927 with the belief that when banks and neighbors work together, great communities grow stronger.

Heritage has remained true to this vision—and close to our roots—offering financial solutions that put our customers and local businesses first. Perhaps that's why our company has grown from a single location to a robust network of branches throughout the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, we've joined forces with Whidbey Island Bank to further our goals of local service, community building and strength.

Today, more than 90 years later, Heritage stands for more than a community bank. We are a community of banks, working together to serve the unique needs of each and every customer.
