PASADENA, Calif. — Wescom Credit Union has officially opened its Knott’s Berry Farm Branch, which it said is conveniently located in Knott’s California Marketplace and just steps away from the main gate of the theme park in Buena Park, Calif.
“Last year we announced our strategic partnership with Knott’s as their Official Banking Partner and opening our newest Wescom branch adjacent to the theme park really brings this partnership to life,” VP-Partner Development Michael Cederbaum said in a statement. “By opening this new branch we’re providing convenient, better banking services to Knott’s associates, season passholders, and park guests, as well as current Wescom members and the community at large.”
The opening of Wescom’s 30th branch in the state of California – and its ninth branch in Orange County – “further expands its membership growth initiatives into the consumer experience space with a brand that, like Wescom, is deeply rooted in California,” WCU said.
According to Wescom, the branch design pays homage to the location, featuring imagery of the historic berry farm, and provides a modern banking experience - with the latest technology, innovative branch design and accessible teller stations to allow for more meaningful interactions between members and Wescom team members.
Should members choose to bank virtually, Wescom said it continues to offer its top-rated mobile banking app, online banking, and other digital banking options that allow members to bank on the go without compromising service.
To commemorate the opening of the new branch, Wescom has announced several special offers that new members, current members, youth, Knott’s guests and season passholders, and Knott’s associates can take advantage of, including:
