SOMERVILLE, Mass.–Naveo Credit Union celebrated the grand reopening of its Cambridge branch with a ribbon cutting ceremony and cocktail reception. The event was well-attended by current and former board members, local business owners, community members and special guests, Cambridge City Councillor Timothy J. Toomey, Jr. and Cooperative Credit Union Association President Paul Gentile. Naveo’s board and management team also presented a plaque to John C. Feitor, its longest service board member, for 35 years of service.
The grand reopening comes after Naveo recently rebranded and renovated its Cambridge branch to a modern, open-concept style branch featuring pods, cash recyclers and a tech center. The new space fosters an interactive approach to banking where members can sit in the lobby with an iPad or stand next to a branch employee, rather than behind a glass. The renovation also added new curb appeal for the CU with the addition of several floor-to-ceiling windows, vibrant colors and an eye-catching ATM surround, Naveo said.
“Our newly renovated branch in Inman Square provides our members with a more comfortable space to conduct their business. The removal of our traditional teller windows allows for a more personal way to greet our members, one that enhances their overall member experience. The implementation of new technology expedites transactions, allowing more time for staff to interact with our members. The new space has been well received by our members and has allowed us to become more visible to potential members in the community,” said CEO Rui F. Domingos.
