CUSO Financial Services (CFS) has extended its multi-year contract with Wescom Financial Services (WFS), a unit of Wescom Credit Union.
Wescom Credit Union had a Dual Program relationship with CFS between 1999 and 2003.

The two parties have maintained an investment programme from 2004.
Since that time, WFS is said to have “achieved a five percent-member penetration with $1.3 billion of assets under administration (AUA) embracing a one-to-three ratio with its Wescom asset base”.
The renewal of the relationship is the result of an extensive RFP (Request for Proposal) carried out by WFS last year.
The aim of the RFP was to find out the ideal secondary clearing partner to support its broker-dealer.
