To Our Members
Making the Most of Your Membership

Members join Wescom for many reasons. Maybe you were referred by friends or family members. Maybe it was the convenience of Wescom's 56 branches, online banking through eBranch, or our far-reaching network of fee-free ATMs that attracted you. Maybe it was Wescom's breadth of services — everything from Savings Accounts to investment and insurance services. Maybe it was something as simple as our Free Checking, or as important as our commitment to member service.

The reasons for joining Wescom are as varied as our members. But our members have this in common: once you join, most of you stay. Not only do you stay, many of you deepen your relationship with the Credit Union, taking advantage of more of our products and services. You do this because you appreciate the unique credit union relationship that puts people before profit, and replaces the customer-banker dynamic with a partnership.

Deepening your relationship with Wescom in this way offers many advantages. For example, our Auto-Pay Discount provides a reduced loan rate to members who have their auto payments automatically transferred from their Wescom Checking Account. Direct Deposit saves you trips to the branch, and eBranch introduces a whole new level of banking convenience. Additionally, using Wescom as your preferred provider of financial services centralizes your banking, simplifying and streamlining your finances.

Another benefit derived from strengthening your relationship with Wescom is Signature Membership — one of the Credit Union's most popular programs. Since its inception in 2002, Signature Membership has emphasized the importance of building strong member relationships, and rewards members who make Wescom their financial partner of choice.

Wescom's Signature Membership program has grown over the years. The number of Signature Members has more than doubled since the program's first year, due in part to our ongoing efforts to enhance the value of Signature Membership for our members. You can read about new benefits of Signature Membership, introduced this month.

What hasn't changed since the program's launch is that our Signature Members look to Wescom to fulfill their financial needs. They recognize the importance of their relationship with the Credit Union and are motivated to actively support it. In return, they are rewarded with an enhanced set of benefits, such as free IMAGINE THAT! Picture Cards, five free online eVision^® trades each month, and special Signature Certificates.

If you're not a Signature Member yet, we hope you'll consider becoming one and make the most of your membership. All you need is a Premium Interest Checking Account and a desire to support your Credit Union. Ultimately, your support allows Wescom to serve you better and to help you achieve your financial goals at every stage of life.
