Dawn
My Passion: My family
I have been a member of Westerra for over 25 years!
How Westerra works for me
Such friendly, helpful employees!
Rose
My Passion: Science Fiction!
Not knowing much about savings accounts or interest rates, a
wonderful teller suggested I open a money market while the
interest rates were prime. I took her advice and then continued
to contribute money each month. Thanks to this wise teller I've
now saved enough for the down payment for my new house!
How Westerra works for me
I first joined Gateway Credit Union in 97 to apply for a car loan.
I was approved! When Gateway merged to become Westerrra, the
customer service and services offered became even better! I love the
free checking!
Don
My Passion: Climbing Mountains
Reaching the top of anything is exhilarating in any form.
A mountain challenges me to see something grand and possibly
insurmountable.
How Westerra works for me
Funds are available wherever I travel with Westerra.
Ashlee
My Passion: I am passionate about encouraging
independence and creativity in my
children and establishing financial
security for my family.
My husband and I moved to Colorado after he was
furloughed from an airline. We were fed up with banks and I
remembered I had an account at Westerra from high school.
We were so happy to begin the rebuilding process with a
credit union.
How Westerra works for me
I was concerned about the merge especially after the numerous
changes; however, I am pleased with the increased services and
convenience offered via website and in person. The customer service
has remained excellent and there is consistency among the branches.
I have one branch that I visit often and everyone there is amazing!
Tiffany
My Passion: We love to give to others!
My husband and I have a passion to give. Recently we've
been able to help out two different families with substantial
financial gifts to get them back on their feet again. We have
moderate jobs (I work two part time jobs while staying at
home to take care of our two little girls and he is a nurse) but
we are trying to be wise with our money and as generous as
we can.
How Westerra works for me
With direct deposit through Westerra we are able to keep one of
my sources of income accruing in an account until we have enough
to help someone out. With the online access I can check that
amount at anytime, and write a check to myself that arrives in a few
short days, without having to drive to the credit union. Thanks
Westerra!
Katherine
My Passion: Hiking
When I decided to go back to school for a career in health
care, I knew I would need to give it my full attention. The
credit union helped me refinance, giving me the money I needed
to quit work and attend school full time. I now have a career I
love every day!
How Westerra works for me
I make money just banking! I love your great certificate of deposit
rates and Westerra CU gave me a great rate and service
when I refinanced my home. They made it all so easy.
Sarah
My Passion: Our beautiful daughters
We were able to put money aside to help us when a recent
surprise addition to our family came!
How Westerra works for me
Westerra provides convenient services like savings and checking
to help us keep our finances organized.
Sandra
My Passion: Staying connected with family.
I was never approved for a loan until I only wanted a signature loan. Westerra helped me out, and now I have
great credit.
How Westerra works for me
They challenged me to prove that I was and still am a good
financial risk.
Paula
My Passion: My passions are traveling, sailing
and skiing
I retired to Connecticut. All I need is an ATM card that works world wide! I still do my bill pay and other banking online. Long distance banking is as close as my computer.
How Westerra works for me
Automatic deposit, online bill pay, CDs, money markets, loans and the ease of depositing tuition in childrens' accounts all from 1,800 miles away.
Angel
My Passion: The Arts and education
Children, education, cars, house purchase and refinance,
emergencies - you've always been there for over two decades!
I told my kids the credit union is the only way to go!
How Westerra works for me
Great service!
