SEATTLE — BECU said it will open new financial centers in Monroe, Washington and in the Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle. The credit union is targeting an opening date of later this year for both locations, which will join 60 centers in serving its members’ everyday financial needs.
At the Monroe and Columbia City Neighborhood Financial Centers, the $30.2-billion BECU said “employees will provide financial advice and expertise in addition to one-on-one support for opening accounts and transactions involving ATMs, Online Banking and mobile banking. Member consultants will have access to tablets and other technology designed to meet members’ needs more quickly and efficiently. Both locations will also offer newly designed spaces to assist members with express transactions and those that are more complex in nature, including loans and memberships.”
Monroe and Columbia City will host new capabilities and special programming designed to enhance the member experience. This includes providing members direct access to BECU’s Video Banking team, where they can learn more about specialty services and product offerings, as well as integrated spaces available for financial health seminars, community events and other onsite functions, BECU said.
Located near North Kelsey Street, the Monroe financial center will be over 1,450 square feet and partner with existing locations in Everett, Mill Creek, Bothell and Lynnwood to better serve nearly 280,000 members residing in Snohomish County. At more than 2,700 square feet, the Columbia City financial center will be located near the corner of Rainier Avenue South and South Alaska Street, serving over 12,500 members who live in the area and joining nearby financial centers in Tukwila and Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
