Latino Community Credit Union (LCCU) has opened for business at its new branch in Garner (Wake County) in North Carolina at 4418 Fayetteville Road. This is LCCU’s second branch in Wake County with the intention of providing added convenience for members. LCCU will have a grand opening celebration in several weeks and will invite the public to join in its celebration. More details of this event will follow.

“LCCU wants to continue making affordable financial products and services more convenient and accessible for the unbanked population in North Carolina,” says LCCU board member John Herrera.

LCCU offers a full-range of financial products and services in the new Garner branch on Fayetteville Road, including transaction services, deposit products, money transfer services, auto, consumer, and mortgage loans, online services, and, as a certified agent of the IRS, members can apply for the Individual Tax Identification Number in LCCU’s offices. The new location will also offer free financial education workshops to LCCU members as well as the larger community.

Several institutions have given their support to open the new Garner branch, including the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, the Wachovia Foundation, the North Carolina Minority Support Center, and the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund through the U.S. Department of Treasury.
