Wescom Financial, the Official Banking Partner of UCLA Athletics and of the UCLA Alumni Association, has launched a new UCLA-branded Debit Card. Along with the previously launched Bruin Choice and Bruin Edge Visa® Credit Cards, UCLA students, alumni, faculty, staff, fans, and supporters now have two ways to show their allegiance to UCLA — the #1 ranked public university.
“Our new UCLA Debit Card is perfect for our beloved Bruin community because they can make purchases while showing off their campus pride. They can swipe, tap, and 8-clap all over campus and beyond while conveniently managing their finances,” remarked Cristobel von Walstrom, Vice President Technology and Delivery.
In addition to its Bruin blue and gold colorway and UCLA script logo design, Wescom’s new UCLA Debit Card provides two distinct banking advantages to Bruins who are – or become – Wescom Financial members:
- Cashless transactions – adding the debit card to a member’s digital wallet in Wescom’s top-rated mobile app allows for quick and easy on- and off-campus purchases
- Get instant gratification – members can pick up their UCLA Debit Card at the Wescom UCLA Campus Branch in Ackerman Union, and begin using the new card immediately
When students, alumni, and faculty visit the on-campus branch for the UCLA Debit Card, they also become a Wescom member-owner. Wescom Financial provides members with a full array of banking and financial services, including:
● Savings and checking accounts
● Loans – auto, mortgages, personal, student, and credit cards
● Lines of Credit – home equity and personal
● Financial education – financial counseling services, free online financial education tools and resources, free financial calculators, and complimentary workshops and seminars on topics such as investment planning and real estate
Wescom is also the presenting sponsor of the UCLA Financial Wellness program where Wescom financial experts educate UCLA peer coaches so they can, in turn, help UCLA students strengthen their budgeting and investing skills while expanding their financial literacy.
