A new IHMVCU credit union is scheduled to open later this year in the fast-growing business district in northern Bettendorf called The Plex.
The Bettendorf Competition Drive Financial Center will be IHMVCU’s 14th location. It marks a major milestone in the credit union’s growth, according to information from the credit union.
The new site at 5310 Competition Drive is scheduled to open this fall. The new branch will be a “modern space” that has the customers’ needs in mind, according to a Thursday, July 31 post on the credit union’s Facebook page.
That IHMVCU office will be in a new retail building located near the Iron Tee Golf facility and across the street from the recently opened SpringHill Suites by Marriott. (That one-story retail building in The Plex has room for three businesses in addition to the new credit union.)
“We’re thrilled to open our second branch in Bettendorf to increase accessibility for our members and to be a part of the exciting growth in northeast Bettendorf,” said Brian Laufenberg, CEO and president of IHMVCU, in a Thursday, July 31, news release.
“This expansion is part of our goal to make banking simple, efficient, and accessible to everyone in the region,” he added. “This new location will bring the same great service our team provides, while allowing us new ways to connect with the community through events, workshops, and financial education.”
Modern financial center
Once open, The Plex location will be a modern financial center designed with convenience at its core. Video tellers will be available both inside and at the drive-up, offering faster service and extended access, without the traditional teller line.
“We’re excited to build deeper connections with our members and neighbors in northeast Bettendorf,” Mr. Laufenberg said. “This new branch will help us better serve the financial needs of the community for years to come.”
IHMVCU boasts more than 143,000 members and has $2 billion in assets. That makes it one of the largest credit unions in the Quad Cities region.
