VACAVILLE - Travis Credit Union has opened a new branch at the corner of Peabody Road and Alamo Drive to make it easier for south Vacaville customers to do business.
'It is a very convenient location for our customers,' said Kathy Rios, vice president of marketing for Travis Credit Union.
The new facility is more of a relocation of an existing branch than the creation of a new one.
Travis Credit Union is moving its corporate branch services from its headquarters on One Travis Way to the new branch at 2010 Peabody Road. Those services include tellers, new account services and auto loans.
The new branch opened last Monday, and a formal grand opening celebration is planned for June 28 from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
Free children's ID/DNA kits will be available at the grand opening. The credit union's mascot T-Bird will visit with children from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Hot dogs and other refreshments will be provided.
The new branch's business hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Saturday.
Travis Credit Union is opening the new branch because it determined that 50 percent of those credit union members who were using the corporate office location lived within a short distance of the new location.
