OUR was both. I stuck with OUR Credit Union from [pretty much] it's inception in 1969 until it was shut down by goober-mint regulators. Oregon Urban & Rural — their requirement for membership was that you had to have had contact with a government agency within the last six months.
Early on they didn't report to the credit agencies and I
liked that, but members started wanting to saddle themselves with mortgage debt, so they started in the 80s or 90s. I could walk in and borrow $2K on my signature. The Credit Union that inherited me* won't do that.
*Undisclosed of course, it's Internet after all.
