TAPCO Credit Union Taps New CEO for the New Year

Justin Martin will become president/CEO of the $567 million TAPCO Credit Union in Fircrest, Wash., on Jan. 5, the board of directors said in a prepared statement. He will replace Bill Peters.

Martin joins TAPCO from the $763 million Verity Credit Union in Seattle, where he served as COO for four years. Before that, he also worked as chief of human resources and marketing at Verity for more than six years. He also served as director of training and as an HR development officer at the credit union.

In addition to his industry experience, Martin’s past and current involvement with multiple non-profits includes serving on the boards of the North Seattle College Foundation, the Seattle Colleges Foundation and Country Doctor Community Health Centers.

“I believe that through embracing the cooperative spirit of credit unions we can drive significant, positive impact in the lives of our members and the greater community, addressing areas of equity and ensuring everyone is able to prosper,” Martin said in a prepared statement.

TAPCO’s 92 employees operate five branches that serve more than 30,000 members, according to NCUA Call and Profile Reports for the third quarter of 2021.
