Back-to-School Affordability
With a new semester just around the corner, affording a post-secondary education can be a challenge. From the cost of tuition and school supplies to electronics and rent, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed. WFCU has the perfect package to support students and give your budget some breathing room.
Student Line of Credit—With flexible student financing, students can focus on their education, not how they’ll pay for it. Students are eligible for up to $15,000 per year for a maximum of four years. While in school and for up to one year after graduation, they pay monthly interest only on the amount used for the time it’s used.
Free Student Chequing Account—With no monthly minimums, a competitive interest rate, unlimited debits, withdrawals, bill payments, and Interac e-Transfers®, students have all the features they’ll need for their everyday banking.

Scripps Spelling Bee Recap
The 2024 Scripps National Spelling Bee took place from May 27-31, 2024, in National Harbor, Maryland. The winners of the WFCU Credit Union and ECU – A Division of WFCU Credit Union regional spelling bees advanced to the national bee. Additionally, the pronouncer of the WFCU Bee, Craig Pearson, was named Regional Volunteer of the Year and attended Bee Week.
Isaac Brogan, two-time winner of the WFCU bee, tied for 192nd place at this year’s regional bee after misspelling the word Furneaux. Arshan Shariar, the winner of the ECU bee, tied for 60th place after spelling the word gavial incorrectly during the fourth round. We are incredibly proud of both of our finalists!
