LOS ANGELES – Water and Power Community Credit Union has joined forces with non-profit El Rescate and No Borders/Sin Fronteras, which provides low-cost remittances and telephone communications between the United States and Latin America, to serve the Latino community of Pico Union here with a mini branch. "This alliance will serve as a model to the Latino community of Los Angeles," said WPCCU President/CEO Carl Stewart.

We are excited about continued support and collaborative effort among our three organizations." El Rescate Economic Development Director Salvador Sanabria adds, "This is a historical initiative lead by our community-based institution that will empower immigrants with transnational financial services on both sides of the borders."
