Central Willamette Credit Union (CWCU) has had a vision of a flourishing community for over 50 years. Since Central Willamette’s beginning, we’ve continuously committed to being a genuinely helpful credit union, happy to provide our members with financial guidance from our friendly and trustworthy team. Our vision of helping the community and each member’s individual needs is what has set us apart and what keeps our members happy.
With the growing need to have the ability to bank from anywhere, CWCU is happy to be able to offer our mobile banking app to our members. There are few moments in the day when there isn’t something that needs to get done—work to do, errands to run, family commitments to keep. At Central Willamette Credit Union, we want to give you a little more time in your day. Using CWCU mobile banking can help make your day run more smoothly, as you can do your banking from wherever you are and at any time.
The biggest difference between internet banking and mobile banking is functionality. Internet banking is done online via your laptop or PC and by using an internet connection, while mobile banking can be done with or without an internet connection from a mobile device, such as a phone or tablet. This means wherever you are in your day, your bank can come to you.
