EECU’s Newest Branch Has Wheels, Will Travel
February 11, 2025
Educational Employees Credit Union
Our purpose is to achieve unrivaled member satisfaction by understanding our members' financial needs and providing quality financial products and services.
EECU’s newest branch is a lot like its other traditional branch offices with one noticeable difference – this one is on wheels. EECU’s Mobile Branch officially opened for business in July 2024. It provides typical teller services such as cashing checks, depositing and withdrawing money, and making loan payments. The teller window and ATM are accessible from the exterior of the vehicle and there is space inside to meet with EECU staff for other types of services, such as opening new accounts and loans. The bilingual staff assists members in English and Spanish.
“We are so excited about our new Mobile Branch,” said
Elizabeth J. Dooley, EECU president/CEO. “In areas where people lack convenient
access to a financial institution, our Mobile Branch will deliver banking
services directly to the community, with the goal of improving the financial
health of all residents.”
EECU serves several counties in Central California and the
Central Coast and has branches in many, but not all, of those areas. The Mobile
Branch helps to bridge the financial services gap, making it easier for people
to manage their finances and get assistance to do so.
Mobile Branch Manager Eddie Zamora sees
the new branch as an opportunity to bring personal service directly to the
credit union’s members and the community. “By expanding our presence into unbanked and
underbanked areas, we’re building relationships and trust with people who are
most in need of affordable banking services,” said Zamora. “Our Mobile Branch
is a significant milestone for EECU and demonstrates our commitment to bolster
inclusion by removing barriers to essential financial services.”
The Mobile Branch also has a presence at community events,
workplaces and schools, providing convenient access to banking services,
educational resources, and personal financial guidance.
