#OTD 🏦 West Community Credit Union began as Brentwood Mutual Credit Union on this day in 1936. The first meeting was held in Brentwood City Hall organized by 15 businesses & civic leaders with $150 in capital. For the first few months, we operated out of the basement of City Hall from 7-9pm each Monday (can you even imagine?! 🫣) before finding a home at Bley Eichler's Barber Shop and adopting regular business hours. Today West Community is a progressive financial institution with over $469 million in assets, 32,700 members, over $403 million in loans, and branches throughout the STL region (and Columbia). Cooperation at work! Happy Founders Day 🥳
