westforce™ is a Community Credit Union, and Credit Unions are non-profit entities. But we are not a totally free service. We invite you to check us out.

To enable westforce™ to continue to exist and continue to provide the outstanding service we are all so proud of, we must apply some fees. We must recover the costs of our operation and we must also find money to pay some fees of our own, to Companies who supply us with services. The good news is... that after applying our operational costs, we return most of what's left to our Members, by way of Dividends.
