ORONO, MA (January 13, 2015) -- University Credit Union is pleased to announce the opening of a campus branch in the Brooks Student Center at the University of Southern Maine in Gorham. Matthew J. Walsh, President/CEO of University Credit Union stated “Our team has been working diligently through the winter holidays to open when students returned from their break on January 12th. I’m extremely pleased that we have been able to meet this deadline and provide members and the Gorham community with this campus branch!”
Unlike a traditional retail branch, the campus branch utilizes a shared branching kiosk that will be available to members whenever the Brooks Student Center is open. The kiosk facilitates deposits, withdrawals, loan payments, check services and inquiries. A UCU employee is available to help open accounts, take loan applications and answer questions Monday through Friday from 10 am until 3 pm or by appointment. The Gorham location will be UCU’s 9th branch, 3 of which being campus branches (other campus branches include the Memorial Union at UMaine in Orono and the Student Center at the University of Maine at Presque Isle).
UCU has had a relationship with USM as they serve the students, employees and alumni of the entire University of Maine System as well as their families. Walsh stated “We have served the University of Maine System since 1967 and we are excited to be able to further enhance our relationship with the University of Southern Maine in the Gorham community.” Dan Welter, Coordinator of Student Activities and Greek Life added “The opening of the branch on our Gorham campus will provide unprecedented access for students, staff and faculty to financial services. This means more access for our community to the advanced financial tools that UCU has to offer, as well as access to a Credit Union, a financial institution that is truly here to support its membership and the University.” A grand opening celebration is scheduled for January 22nd from noon until 2 pm at the campus branch.
University Credit Union is a full-service financial institution with branches located in Orono, Bangor, Farmington, Gorham, Portland and Presque Isle. For more information, visit their website at www.ucu.maine.edu.
