SAN JOSE, Calif. – Technology Credit Union has opened the doors to a new Santa Teresa Financial Center in South San Jose. As part of the opening festivities the community has been invited to enter the credit union's `Driven to Excellence' Sweepstakes for a grand prize of a 2006 Pontiac Solstice convertible! The Santa Teresa branch features a unique contemporary design with warm colors and an airy, welcoming interior. Mirroring the modern design, Tech CU also offers leading edge financial solutions. There is an on-site mortgage consultant on hand to answer questions about the mortgage lending process and financial advisors can help with a wide range of investment services. The company's choice for this seventh location in Santa Teresa is a reflection of its strategic vision for becoming a premier provider of financial services to selected communities, made possible by a recently obtained community charter, the CU said. Other incentives for members to sign up for accounts include $25 Westfield Shopping Town gift cards and $10 donations to HOPE Services for any new account opened. HOPE Services provides a range of employment and job training programs, developmental activities, professional counseling, infant services, senior services, supported and independent living services, and mobility training for some 2,500 area people with developmental disabilities.
