PAW PAW, MI (March 13, 2013) — Since laying down roots in Paw Paw three years ago, Educational Community Credit Union (ECCU) has quickly grown from a small, part-time branch to a large, full-time newly remodeled branch that offers all the convenient amenities one would expect at any financial institution.
The newly renovated and expanded office is four times larger than its previous space and has a new exterior façade, drive-thru, 24-hour ATM and night depository. Inside, take a seat in front of the cozy fireplace after a stop at the coffee station and admire the latest art projects on display from local school students. Younger members will enjoy the sunny children’s area with comfy bean bag chairs and TV.
"We keep telling members that they won’t recognize the place," laughs Carolyn Hande, Branch Manager of ECCU's Paw Paw Office. "We’re excited for the official Grand Re-Opening so everyone can see just how we’ve grown to better serve our members and the Paw Paw community."
The Grand Re-Opening runs March 18 – 23 at 315 E. St. Joseph Street in Paw Paw. All week long, the credit union will be giving away cash prizes and gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses. Saturday events include musical performances by local schools, the ever popular Green Money Machine, and more. An iPad® grand prize will also be awarded to one lucky recipient.
Established in 1935, the credit union exceeds $388 million in assets and provides a full-range of financial products and services to more than 35,000 members throughout 21 counties in Michigan. Visit eccu1.org to learn for yourself why ECCU just feels right, and ECCU members feel right at home.
