A Partnership Rooted in Purpose

At BECU, we believe that financial well-being fuels personal potential, and there's no better place to live that out than on the campuses of the University of Washington. As the official credit union partner of the UW, we're proud to stand with students, alumni, faculty and fans to build a future grounded in access, equity and financial confidence. 

Our collaboration with UW stretches across campuses and communities — from Seattle to Bothell to Tacoma and beyond — and reflects a shared commitment to uplifting the next generation of changemakers. 

A Husky Card With Heart

Our specially designed UW debit and credit cards offer more than just convenience. They're a symbol of school pride and a way for Huskies to bank with purpose. Whether you're grabbing coffee before class or cheering at Husky Stadium, your everyday purchases help power a partnership that gives back to the community.

Beyond the Classroom, Into the Community

Through this partnership, we've created meaningful ways to support students from the classroom to their careers by:

  • Welcoming new students during orientation and at Dawg Daze with experiences that introduce them to smart money habits and the value of credit union membership.
  • Championing financial education through on-campus seminars, student athlete programs and tools designed to help Huskies thrive beyond graduation.
  • Fueling belonging and equity by sponsoring service events, cultural celebrations and programs that support historically marginalized students and communities.
  • Celebrating school spirit at football games, bookstore nights and more — because financial wellness and Husky pride go hand in hand.

Shared Mission to Serve

From the Whole U's wellness initiatives to career development in the Foster School of Business, our collaboration supports the whole student — not only their finances. Together, we're building connections, reducing barriers and helping create opportunities that last long after graduation.
