On behalf of Wanigas Credit Union officials and staff, thank you for your membership and continued confidence throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The reality of a “new normal” has required us all to adapt as we move forward together, committed to maintaining a safe environment. As lobbies begin to reopen with limited occupancy, we encourage you to use the drive-thru lanes and our 30,000+ Surcharge-Free ATM Network for cash transactions. We ask that you utilize our 24/7 convenience services when possible. We’ve made several enhancements that make it easier than ever to access your accounts, apply for loans and manage your finances.
