Hello, Oklahoma Fidelity Bank Customers
At the end of business day, August 18, 2023, Oklahoma Fidelity Bank Pryor customers became WeStreet Federal Credit Union members.
We are excited to welcome you as a WeStreet Federal Credit Union member. Our team worked diligently to make your transition to WeStreet Federal Credit Union effortless with as minimal of an impact on your existing accounts as possible.
The Oklahoma Fidelity Bank Pryor branches have transitioned to WeStreet Federal Credit Union as of August 19, 2023. We believe that adding the Pryor branches to the WeStreet Federal Credit Union footprint will provide expanded and convenient access to both you and our current members.
WeStreet Federal Credit Union was established in 1943 on the philosophy of people helping people. Today, WeStreet Federal Credit Union, a community-charted credit union, has grown to over 56,000 members, $950+ million in assets, more than 200 employees, and serves 11 Northeast Oklahoma counties with 14 convenient locations.
Credit unions like ours are democratically run and member-owned. Members are elected to the board by a membership vote, and the board is empowered to make decisions about the credit union’s policies, priorities, and future.
By creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, WeStreet helps neighbors become members and members become family.
You should have received a Member Agreement Packet in the mail. A packet went out per account number, so you may have received multiple packets. If so, all individuals on the account (regardless of the number of accounts) will only need to opt in once.
