PASADENA, Calif.–Wescom Credit Union hosted a grand opening event to celebate the opening of its 25th branch in Southern California.
Guests enjoyed free food, meet n’ greet activities, and prizes.
The West LA Branch grand opening welcomed approximately 120 guestsm including members, local residents, Wescom staff, city officials, board members, and Genevieve Riutort, Westside Food Bank’s president & CEO, who was presented with a $750 donation from the Wescom Foundation.
“Wescom’s West Los Angeles branch, now our 25th branch, is an opportunity to serve new and existing members in this community,” remarked Adriana Welch, SVP-branch operations. “We used to have a branch in this area serving Santa Monica and West LA, so today marks a happy homecoming for the credit union, especially given our strong ties with UCLA.”
Wescom has long been the official banking partner of a number of UCLA entities, and as such, Wescom is committed to making a positive impact for the UCLA community at every level.
“This includes providing competitive and unique financial products and services offered exclusively to Bruins, financial education and wellness, robust access channels such as fee-free ATMs, mobile, and online banking, and philanthropic activities that build better lives on and off campus,” the credit union said.
In addition to having a full-service branch on the UCLA campus, Wescom’s new West LA Branch – which is situated below UCLA apartment units that are available exclusively to the University’s medical students – makes Wescom particularly convenient to serve their needs.
Wescon said the newest branch, with new and improved branch design features that better utilize technology, allows for more meaningful interactions. Some of the features include:
- Tech-forward and open-concept design
- Offices that offer a private area for consultative conversations
- New teller pod stations
- Walk-up ATMs for convenient, quick banking
- An on-site coin booth
