OAK CREEK, Wis.–UW Credit Union is opening a new branch in Drexel Town Square here.
UW Credit Union now operates 11 branches in the Milwaukee area, including Bay View, West Allis, New Berlin, Waukesha and Wauwatosa. A Greenfield location is planned for next spring.
“Our growth in Milwaukee has been swift but focused,” said Milwaukee Director of Member Sales & Service Fe Cooper. “Our long-term approach is to center our expansion efforts here to support the growing member presence. As many of our members embark on milestone financial decisions, including purchasing a home, accessible branch locations and in-person consultations can ease those transitions.”
UWCU said the expansion plans represent its targeted branching strategy, which identifies specific metro areas with high concentrations of UW System alumni, current members and high school students bound for UW System schools.
A grand opening celebration with the Milwaukee Brewers is scheduled for Friday, July 21, from 3-5 p.m. at the new branch. The free “Aloha Friday” event includes a shave ice bar with Kealoha Authentic Hawaiian Shave Ice, a photo opportunity with Bernie Brewer and a prize wheel stocked with local gift cards and Brewers merchandise.
The first 50 people to arrive at the Oak Creek branch will take home a free Brewers beach towel (one per household). Additional beach towels will be given away at all UW Credit Union branches that day to commemorate the new opening (while supplies last).
All UW Credit Union branches will recognize Aloha Friday through August 25.
