SAN DIEGO — On November 13th, Great American Credit Union members will be voting on whether or not to merge with Pasadena-based Wescom Credit Union.
The move is designed to enhance the value of membership for the $57 million credit union–from more branches and additional services including free bill pay and 24-hour loan application approval, to a larger ATM network and more investment and insurance products.
"While Wescom is larger, it is anything but impersonal. Member service is their top priority, and a major factor in the selection of them as a merger partner," said Great American CU in a statement released to members about the merger plans.
As for the $3.9 billion Wescom CU, the merger would help double its San Diego County footprint with nine branches.
If Great American CU's 8,800 members approve the merger at the special meeting held at Marina Village Conference Center on November 13, then it is estimated the merger could be completed by December 1.
