WOW Story: Finding Solutions, Changing Perspectives

Imagine walking into a financial institution, hoping to secure a loan for something important to you—only to be turned away. That’s exactly what happened to Daniel when he applied for a loan to purchase a side-by-side vehicle. His credit situation meant we couldn’t approve the loan as he initially requested. But instead of saying no, our Port Townsend team asked, “How can we make this work?” That’s people over profit.

Daniel explored alternative options with our team, including using a paid-off vehicle as collateral. He also considered co-signers. One backed out—but the second stepped up. Thanks to the determination of Daniel’s determination some quick thinking form our lending team, he secured the financing he needed.

The real WOW moment? Daniel had been a long-time member of another credit union, but after experiencing Peninsula’s commitment to finding solutions rather than roadblocks, he became one of our biggest advocates! We go the extra mile to help our members succeed. Congratulations on the new vehicle, and thank you for your membership, Daniel!
