WESTOBA
Westoba. “Our relationship managers and business advisors work with our members to not just accommodate their credit needs, but to offer up their experience and advice to benefit the member.” Developed in rural Manitoba, Westoba has financed the agricultural industry since 1963. Today, it’s a full-service financial institution with members from all industries. Members can expect convenient tools to make the day-to-day banking simple with in-person services or through its online and mobile banking. When it comes to business or personal accounts, Westoba provides loans, investment opportunities, financial planning and credit accounts that members can utilize to fit their needs and access wherever they go. With 16 branches throughout the province, a face-to-face meeting with an advisor is just a short drive away. And if you can’t make it to a branch, you can request mobile support – connecting you with the virtual services team located in Brandon. “We’ve helped our members with everything from starting their own businesses to financing their expansions to building small- and large- scale investment properties,” Morgan says. “We love what we do, which is serving our
member owners.” Westoba has a dedicated business team with knowledge about the local market and experience in finance and business. “Winnipeg is rapidly growing and there are new and unique business opportunities popping up all over the city,” says Henry Neufeld, Senior Manager, Member Experience at Westoba. “Westoba’s goal is to support this growth. We want our business members to think of us as part of their team and we’re here to help.” Westoba is committed to serving the communities its members live and work in. In 2017, Westoba initiated a community giving program called Inspire. Since its inception, Inspire has granted more than $83,000 to deserving organizations throughout Manitoba, including the Immigrant Centre Manitoba Inc., the Manitoba Conservatory of Music and Arts, and the University of Manitoba Bisons. Westoba wants to help its members and its community to succeed, whether that means supporting local businesses through grants or with honest financial advice. By choosing Westoba, members are choosing local – and that means putting their money back into the community and their business. ■
