Portland Gasco Federal Credit Union (today known as Trailhead Federal Credit Union) was founded in October 1935. It was during the great depression and there was a great need for small salary advances and loans. A group of 11 Portland Gas and Coke employees, with the approval of their company, organized the credit union to benefit all employees of the company. In June of 2013, Northwest Resource Federal Credit Union changed its name to Trailhead Credit Union in effort to better distinguish itself in the marketplace with a name that is easy to say, easy to remember, and stands out. Portland is treasured for its many urban and natural trails, so the name Trailhead resonates with both current and future members as the credit union helps them find their individual paths to financial success. Trailhead Credit Union remains dedicated to supporting the community that we have been a part of for 80 years and rewarding the people who have helped us become who we are today.
