OCCU is a credit union based in Eugene, Oregon, owned by more than 260,000 members.[3] It was founded as Lane Federal Credit Union, called U-Lane-O Credit Union from 1981 to 2003, then Oregon Community Credit Union up until 2016.

OCCU received approval to convert to a community charger and change its name to Oregon Community Credit Union from U-Lane-O, allowing anyone living or working within a 10-county area to become a member.[4]
