Northwest Federal builds relationships to ensure lives and communities are transformed.

Our primary partners for donations will relate to animal welfare as part of the Westie’s Kids Club and our mascot Westie the Dog. 

At Northwest Federal, we strive to give back to our community, by offering financial products and services, and also by supporting efforts that improve the quality of life in the communities surrounding our corporate headquarters, branch locations and loan production offices.

Working On Your Behalf

WHAT IS THE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE?

• Monitor the controls, policies and systems that are in place by the Credit Union to mitigate financial, operational, and compliance risks
• Investigate perceived violations of credit union rules and policies, unethical behavior, or complaints that were not fully resolved to Member satisfaction through regular credit union channels.

The Committee also arranges for independent internal audits, verification of member accounts, reviews of internal controls, and an annual CPA financial audit.
