History

The credit union was founded as Telephone Employees Credit Union in 1934 by 13 individuals who wanted to create an alternative to banks. In 1996, the credit union changed its name to Wescom Credit Union, typically shortened to Wescom. It primarily served the telecommunications industry until 1999, when its field of membership was expanded to allow anyone living, working, or going to school in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties to join Wescom. Santa Barbara County was added to Wescom's field of membership in 2004, and San Diego County was added in 2005 [ cite web | title=Wescom 2005 Annual Report | url=http://www.wescom.org/bin/pdf/reports/2005_annualrpt.pdf | accessdate=September 23 | accessyear=2006 ] .
