Have you ever had a rivalry with someone? I mean a good, long standing rivalry, where no matter what the person did you would be annoyed by it? Well credit unions and banks have had a pretty good rivalry going on for years. As you can imagine it takes a special issue to bring these two sides together…thank you check cashing institutions!

In September of 2008 Verity along with 21 other financial institutions started participation in the Bank on Seattle-King County program. This program reaches out to the over 50,000 people in the King County area that don't have a bank account. These individuals often need to use check cashing institutions in order to turn their paychecks into cash; paying large fees for this service. This program aims at providing a solution to those individuals, allowing them to stop paying for their money.

The Bank on website provides a great explanation on why this program is so important. Check it out by clicking here.
