Frequently Asked Questions 

How do I log in to the new Online Banking System?
To log in to the new Online Banking System, visit www.westerracu.com and click on "Sign on to Online Banking" in the top right corner of the screen. You will then click on "Enroll in Online Banking."  Accept the Online Banking disclosures and enter your account (member) number, the primary account holder's social security number, date of birth and new password.

How do I view all of my account balances and information?

Why do I not have any pending payments or transfers?
Due to a change in the way transactions are processed, the pending transactions are not available to be viewed in Online Banking. They will, of course, show in your transaction history when the transactions are processed and posted.  The best way to keep track of pending transactions is to use a paper register or retain receipts.

Another alternative is to use our Bill Pay service, where pending Bill Pay items do appear.
