Branching Out, Travis Acquires Napa Accounts

Travis Credit Union has brought the Napa Valley Schools Credit Union into its fold.

The more than 3,500 members of Napa-based Napa Valley Schools Credit Union will now have access to 16 full-service branches in Solano, Napa, Yolo, Contra Costa and Merced Counties, with five more branches scheduled to open in 2007.

"Travis Credit Union is delighted to welcome the members of Napa Valley Schools Credit Union to our family," said Patsy Van Ouwerkerk, president and CEO.

Through the merger, Napa members gain access to such services as free online bill paying, money market accounts, CDs with attractive rates, and a full mortgage department.

Additionally, Travis Credit Union provides nearly 50 free ATMs and continued free access to more than 25,000 CO-OP ATMs nationwide.

The Napa branch, located at 3263 Claremont Way, changed its name Monday to Travis Credit Union, Napa Valley Schools Branch.

The new branch hours will be Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. As of April 7, the branch will be open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Employees of the two credit unions have worked tirelessly to make the transition as smooth as possible, said Lila Dressen, executive vice president of Travis Credit Union.

"We wanted to make sure our new members have full access to their accounts, whether they stop by in person, go online, write a check or use a credit or debit card," said Dressen. "We are committed to welcoming our new members with open arms so they feel right at home with their new credit union family."
