The new partnership will revolve around investment and wealth management services.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. and PORTLAND – John W. Houston, managing director of the Financial Institutions Division of Raymond James, announced that OnPoint Community Credit Union, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, has partnered with and will offer investment and wealth management services to its clients through Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.
“OnPoint is proud to have offered our members access to high quality investment choices for more than 10 years,” said Rob Stuart, president and CEO of OnPoint Community Credit Union. “This transition to Raymond James gives our members even more options to help secure their financial future. With more robust offerings and added educational tools, this new relationship will provide our clients access to one of the most respected investment firms in the country.
“The Raymond James team has worked closely with our OnPoint investments team to ensure this transition was as smooth as possible for our members and our OnPoint team. I know both our advisors and their clients are going to enjoy this unparalleled level of client service.”
OnPoint offers a complete line of commercial, retail banking and investment management products and services for its members. Led by program manager Bill Keith, the investment services team consists of eight advisors, who manage approximately $219 million in client assets.
“It’s a pleasure to welcome OnPoint’s experienced investments team to our Financial Institutions Division,” said Houston. “Their longstanding commitment to their community and members aligns with our focus here at Raymond James. We are delighted they chose to partner with us, and we look forward to providing the sophisticated products and services, the integrated technology and comprehensive support they need to continue to grow.”
OnPoint was founded in 1932 as a place where local schoolteachers could save their money and where those looking to build a better life could find low-cost loans. In 2005, the credit union was granted a community charter, allowing it to serve a larger number of members. To reflect the expanded membership, the name was changed from Portland Teachers Credit Union to OnPoint Community Credit Union. Over the past 82 years, OnPoint has grown to be the largest community-owned financial institution in Oregon, serving more than 276,000 members in 13 Oregon counties and two SW Washington counties.
