Carolyn
My Passion: My passion is digging in the garden
garden and watching things grow.
My first job in Denver was as an Aid for Denver Public
Schools. Since then I have built my own business with the help
of Westerra. For the past 25 years, I have developed a
thriving business as a consultant and teacher, traveling around
the country visiting exciting new places, meeting new people
and exploring this amazing country in which we live.
How Westerra works for me
I wanted to take a vacation. Westerra
was there for me and gave me my very first loan! Since then, my
cars, vacations, and growing business have been with the support
of Westerra. Thank you Westerra, it's been fun growing with you!
Mary
My Passion: Reading and learning
Westerra Credit Union has helped us achieve financial goals
as we raised four children. Now that we are retired our
financial picture is bright---thanks to a great credit union.
How Westerra works for me
We depend on the 7 days a week, 24 hours a day service we get
through the credit union.
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.
Gust
My Passion: The outdoors, keeping myself and
others healthy.
I am very fortunate to live in Colorado and follow my passions
of the outdoors and physical and mental health. I am also
fortunate to love my job as a school counselor and to work
with such amazing young adults who keep me grounded and
teach me every day.
How Westerra works for me
Westerra is always helpful and kind. Each time I call and need
help the associates at Westerra are warm, patient, and quite
helpful. The website and checking my banking on line is also
tremendous and it has helped me keep on top of my finances.
Thank you!
Tess
My Passion: Family, 6 grandsons, gardening,
and quilting
I opened my account in 1970 (or 71) after starting at Safeway
as a checker - since then I've had many loans and accounts.
How Westerra works for me
I got my first loan from this institution for a new 1971 Super Beetle -
Pictured in my Safeway pink smock, I
walked to work the first 10 months, then used my new car!
Amber
My Passion: Shopping
With Westerra CU, shopping is made easier!
How Westerra works for me
In every banking way! Thank you for taking the time to recognize
your customers. It's really great. In the future I will refer my friends to
your credit union! Thanks plenty!
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.
Isaac
My Passion: Teaching others and inspiring self
confidence
I am a teacher. I teach math and literature to elementary
school kids, science and theatre to high school kids, and
ballroom dance to adults. I will always be a teacher because of
the change I have seen. Kids going from dropouts to award
winners, kids going to college on full ride scholarships,
graduating college and being successful at that career
everyone said was useless, or even adults coming out of their
shell at the age of 67... everyone can grow and learn and I am
here to help.
How Westerra works for me
I finally did something for me and was able to get the car of my
dreams. If I'm happy, it's easier to make everyone else happy.
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!
Melisa
My Passion: I have discovered my photographer
within, and went overseas with a new
35mm camera to shoot photos in
Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. I
will pursue this passion for
photography for years to come.
I had to call Westerra from the Middle East to get a new
password. I felt that the security of my identity and information
was well managed. At the same time, Westerra made it easy for
me to regain access to my account. This was a stressful
situation, being that my Westerra account is my primary banking
account and I was depending on using a computer overseas to
manage it. Westerra's help with regaining my online access
turned what could have been a super stressful situation into
something that was no problem.
How Westerra works for me
Even though I moved to Boulder, I maintain my Westerra account
because I have been so consistently pleased with the excellent
customer service I've received over the years. The online banking is
user friendly.
