More about Westerra…
Westerra credit union was formed by eight schoolteachers, who pooled their funds in 1934 to be able to make loans to other teachers. These visionary leaders created Denver Public Schools Credit Union, a not-for-profit financial cooperative, owned and controlled by the members who use its services. Its purpose was to put the members first when offering financial services and treat them as valued owners. Today, the credit union remains focused on that same mission and purpose. During more than 85 years of operation, we have greatly expanded our products and services to meet the changing needs of our members. But our “people helping people” philosophy remains the same. Our highly professional, knowledgeable and friendly staff is dedicated to serving our members. What differentiates Westerra Credit Union from others is our low fees and top-notch service.
