Wescom Credit Union opens a new branch at Knott’s Berry Farm
Wescom Credit Union has opened a new branch inside Knott’s California Marketplace at Knott’s Berry Farm. It sits just steps from the park’s main entrance, making it easy for guests, passholders, and nearby shoppers to stop in for everyday banking without leaving the flow of their visit.
Deepening a community partnership
Michael Cederbaum, Wescom’s Vice President of Partner Development, called the opening a milestone in the credit union’s work with the park. “This branch symbolizes our partnership with Knott’s, serving as their Official Banking Partner,” he said, noting that the location is designed to improve the banking experience for park guests, season passholders, and associates.
Modern banking with a nod to Knott’s history
The branch blends Knott’s Berry Farm heritage with a contemporary banking setting, featuring imagery from the iconic berry farm alongside a clean, modern layout. Members will find accessible teller stations and up-to-date technology to handle quick transactions or longer conversations. Prefer to bank from your phone or laptop? Wescom also offers a highly rated mobile app and robust online services so members can manage accounts anytime, anywhere.
Opening offers for new and current members
To mark the opening, Wescom has rolled out promotions for new members, existing members, youth accounts, and park visitors. A standout: the first 90 people to open a checking account at the new branch can receive a Fast Lane voucher for quicker access to rides and attractions.
Special promotions for new checking accounts
Open a checking account by a specified date and you can enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win a grand prize package that includes tickets to Knott’s, dining options, and a night’s stay at a nearby hotel. New members may also be eligible for a $200 bonus when they meet certain direct-deposit requirements.
Youth account promotions
Wescom is extending the celebration to younger savers, too. Children ages 0–12 and teens ages 13–17 can open youth accounts and receive a special plush toy as a welcome gift. It’s a small, fun way to support financial learning from an early age.
