May 16, 2008

Portland, OR --- OnPoint Community Credit Union, Oregon’s largest with 186,000 members and $2.6 billion in assets, has announced the locations and managers for its three new Vancouver, Wash., branches.

OnPoint’s President/CEO Rob Stuart said the first branch will open May 30, followed by two additional branches opening on June 6 and June 13.

OnPoint also said a community-wide grand opening celebration will be hosted at all three branches from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sat., June 14. OnPoint will sponsor a "Supermarket Sweep," with one winner at each branch taking home all of the groceries that can be loaded into a grocery cart in three minutes. OnPoint will then match the cash value for each "sweep" and present a check to a local food bank.

"We’re here to serve not only our 6,400 existing OnPoint members, but new members as well. At the same time, we want Vancouver to know that OnPoint will be a good citizen-partner in the community," Stuart said.

All three branches will be located within area Safeway stores where an estimated 10,000 consumers per month will walk by OnPoint’s new lobbies. A number of new technology features, including deposit automation ATMs and instant issue debit cards will make banking easier for the credit union’s current and future members.

The branches are the first to open since OnPoint announced its charter expansion into Washington State in the fall of 2007. The charter expansion allows anyone who lives or works in Clark and Skamania counties to become a member.

With these additions, OnPoint will have 14 branches in Oregon and southwest Washington.
