Where Music and Community Meet

BECU has been proud to support KEXP for over two decades, amplifying the sounds that make the Pacific Northwest unique. What started as a shared commitment to community has grown into something deeper — a collaboration that puts independent artists first and gives music lovers a stake in the stations they love.

Together, we're more than just a credit union and a radio station. We're building a future where listener-powered radio thrives because members like you believe in it. From streaming KEXP live in our Neighborhood Financial Centers to funding in-studio performances, we're celebrating authentic music, real community, and the belief that when people come together around what they love, incredible things happen.

The Debit Card That Makes Music

Our specially designed KEXP debit card1 offers more than just convenience. It's a symbol of music community pride and a way to bank with purpose. Every time you make a purchase using the KEXP debit card, BECU donates one cent directly to KEXP.2

Since 2020, BECU has donated more than $2.5 million to KEXP from debit card transactions. That's listener-powered support in action, funding live performances, artist discovery programs and community events that keep independent music thriving.

  • Championing independent artists: We support KEXP's mission to amplify new and emerging artists and connect musicians with audiences worldwide.
  • Celebrating music history: Live at KEXP Volume 10, a special double album project featuring 19 hand-selected tracks from the KEXP vault, showcased two decades of unforgettable performances.
  • Fueling music discovery: BECU is proud to help fund KEXP's 24/7 programming, podcast production and digital initiatives that bring diverse musical voices to listeners across the globe.
