Wescom Credit Union’s ‘Big Blue’ Mobile Branch Stops by Pasadena This Month

The Wescom Credit Union’s Big Blue Mobile Branch Tour will be at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Saturday, November 19, as part of the credit union’s “Did You Know?” financial education campaign.

The 18-foot tall Big Blue Mobile Banking unit has already traveled to 15 communities throughout Southern California since its January 2016 launch. The mobile branch is equipped with a cash-dispensing ATM machine and an 88-inch flat screen display and interactive monitors.

During its stop, visitors can open accounts, manage cashless banking transactions, and better understand the impact of key financial decisions, such as paying for college or purchasing a car.

“Wescom’s Big Blue mobile banking unit is rooted in providing the ultimate convenience for our nearly 200,000 members across Southern California,” said Debbie Shepherd, Director of Member Experiences at Wescom. “But we did not want to stop there. Our ‘Did You Know?’ initiative converts Big Blue into a traveling financial guidance center to educate and empower people to make the very best financial choices possible.”

Financial consulting during the Pasadena stop is complimentary.

The tour features a number of marquee stops including all UCLA football home games at the Rose Bowl Stadium as part of Wescom’s sponsorship of UCLA Athletics. In September, the Wescom headquarters in Pasadena co-hosted an additional event with financial education startup Phroogal as part of the startup’s 50-city Road to Financial Wellness Tour.
