Benefits of Partnership
There are many benefits to offering Shell Western States Federal Credit Union (SWSFCU) membership to your employees. Your employees will have access to all of our financial products, services, and educational programs, at no cost to you.
We're available to give presentations on-site to your employees about financial health and provide financial education on topics ranging from home ownership, budgeting, credit reports and more. These on-site presentations are an important benefit to helping your employees become financially stronger.
A SWSFCU Representative will administer these presentations and be available to enroll employees and answer any financial questions. We will provide you with all the materials to announce our financial on-site visit. All we ask is your aid in distributing them and a modest amount of introductory administration such as processing direct deposit/payroll allocation.
