Durham, NC - Latino Community Credit Union (LCCU) celebrated its grand opening in Winston-Salem (Forsyth County), North Carolina on Monday, August 4. LCCU invites the public to join LCCU’s sixth branch office at 658 Waughtown Street in Winston-Salem. Guest speakers included Senator Linda Garrou, Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines and Representative Larry Womble. For additional information on how to join please contact us at 336-784-0261.

Forsyth County has the third largest Hispanic population in the state, yet has no financial institution and education tailored to the needs of Latinos. “This is another step to help unbanked communities help themselves by having access to affordable financial services & products,” says LCCU board chairman John Herrera.

LCCU will offer all of it products and services in the new Winston-Salem branch. The new location will also offer financial education workshops to LCCU members as well as the larger community. Anyone can become a member of the credit union.

We want to thank the institutions that have given their support to open the Winston-Salem branch, including the Winston-Salem Foundation, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, the Wachovia Next Awards, the North Carolina Minority Support Center, and the state of North Carolina.
