Like all credit unions worldwide, Westend Credit Union is a member owned, community based, financial organisation. People are at the core of everything that we do. Our members are our owners. They are the reason we exist and they count on us to understand their needs and to work in their best interests. Globally credit unions operate in hundreds of countries, serving millions of members. No matter their size however, all credit unions share the same ‘people helping people’ ethos.
