KALAMAZOO, MI (February 12, 2014) – Consumers Credit Union announces the building of two new locations in Grand Rapids in 2014. The new locations will be in Gaines Township, (1673 68th St. SE, Caledonia, MI 49316) and Cascade (5597 28th St. SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49512).
Construction will begin this spring with both offices slated to open this fall. They will feature approximately 3,200 square feet with the latest in banking technology including touch screen access to financial education and an online and mobile banking center for account access and demos. The new offices will also feature a full service lobby with a free coffee bar, children’s play area, and free wireless Internet access, along with a loan and member service area, drive thru lanes, and outdoor ATM.

Says Snyder, “These renovations will provide members with touch screen access to financial education and an updated online and mobile banking center, along with a a service area for one-one-one assistance from staff.
