CFCU plans to open new branch in Seneca County in 2019

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. — Ithaca–based CFCU Community Credit Union announced it plans to open a new branch office early next year in Kingdom Plaza at 1963 U.S. Route 20 in the town of Seneca Falls.

This will be the credit union’s first location in Seneca County and will open for business in the spring of 2019, the credit union said in a release.

The new CFCU branch will include two drive-up lanes and a 24-hour drive-up ATM lane. The office will also provide “intelligent teller machines,” where employees can help members with electronic-banking services, such as depositing checks without having to get in line. CFCU’s staff at this branch will also offer commercial lending, mortgages, business development, wealth management, and insurance services.

“A recent charter expansion allows CFCU to serve residents in Seneca County,” Lisa Whitaker, president and CEO of the credit union, said in the release. “Now anyone who lives, works, worships, maintains a business or goes to school in the county can become a credit union member.”

CFCU Community Credit Union was chartered in 1953 and currently has about 190 employees, more than $1 billion in assets, and over 69,000 members. CFCU serves members in Tompkins, Cortland, Cayuga, Ontario, and Seneca Counties.
