Westerra Credit Union Snapshot
Westerra isn’t just a place to bank. It’s a place to belong. We’re built around fostering connections, support and the things that make us feel cared for. You know, as human beings with hearts and minds and ballet recitals to catch.
And we acknowledge that no one knows everything at Westerra, so we collaborate and work together to learn and grow every day. That goes for our credit union vibe, too. Continuously improving a culture that everyone wants to be part of is, well, part of our culture.
Adding value to our community starts with having strong values.
We call our core values the Westerra Way to Be. In other words, these are our guiding principles that serve as the foundation for everything we do.
Be honorable
Banking isn’t about us. It’s about our members. We support members in meeting their individual needs, which means only recommending the products that make sense for them.
Be inventive
It’s a myth that we only use 10% of our brains. And we’re out to prove it. We think on our feet, come up with new solutions and ideas, and empower our people to implement them however their big, beautiful brains see fit.
Be great
Great isn’t just an adjective. It’s a state of being. Of sweating every detail. If you ask us, going out of your way is the only way worth going. And going above and beyond is more than our habit, it’s our obsession.
Be curious
Let’s be real: numbers on paper can only tell us so much. Getting to know the people behind them lets us form real relationships to get things done. (Plus, this way is more fun.)

Our credit union was formed by eight school teachers who pooled their funds in 1934 to be able to make loans to other teachers. These visionary leaders created DPS 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.
