About BECU

As a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative, BECU is guided by the credit union philosophy of “people helping people.” In fact, putting people over profit guides our everyday business decisions. Unlike many financial institutions, we aren’t owned privately. As a cooperative, we are owned by our members. This drives us to do right by the member, and right by each other as coworkers. You see this in our working culture, in our day-to-day choices to ensure both members’ and employees’ needs are met. Imagine what this type of commitment could do for your work satisfaction.

Recruiting scam alert: Please be aware that bad actors are targeting potential job applicants and impersonating BECU recruiters on LinkedIn. You can protect yourself by inspecting the recruiter’s email address before responding to any unsolicited messages you receive about job opportunities. BECU recruiters do not use Gmail, Yahoo or any other non-enterprise email platforms for recruiting purposes. It is also important to know that BECU recruiters will never ask you for personal information like your Social Security number, date of birth or bank account number. Also, you will not be required to pay fees or cover the cost of equipment. Please visit becu.org/careers to learn more about the application process and apply through our secure portal.
