Neighborhood Credit Union Celebrates Return to Oak Cliff
Published January 14, 2021
Neighborhood Credit Union returned to the site of its longtime Oak Cliff headquarters Tuesday morning for a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off construction on its new building at 650 Fort Worth Avenue at Yorktown Street.
“We’re excited to see all the good things happening in our Oak Cliff neighborhood,” said Francis Santana, senior vice president of retail operations at Neighborhood Credit Union. “We can’t wait to be back to celebrate the grand opening of our beautiful new location in just a few short months!
“Although we may be celebrating the construction of this new location, Neighborhood Credit Union’s commitment to the Oak Cliff community is anything but new,” said Santana, noting that Neighborhood Credit Union was headquartered in nearly the same spot for decades. “It’s so nice to be back here and to look down the street and see the postal trucks coming in and out of the main Post Office, reminding us of our roots as the Dallas Postal Credit Union.”
Neighborhood Credit Union’s Chief Growth Officer Carolyn Jordan echoed Santana’s enthusiasm. “This is where I began my career with Neighborhood Credit Union, and it’s like a homecoming. Even though our credit union has grown significantly since our founding nearly 92 years ago, we remain firmly rooted in our core mission: to be good neighbors and humbly serve our members as they work to improve their financial life – wherever they are in life.”
Kiyundra Jones, president of the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce, recalled her own history of working with Neighborhood Credit Union over the years on a number of initiatives to benefit the community. “Congratulations to Neighborhood Credit Union on this exciting new construction project,” said Jones. “And welcome home!”
Other local leaders who took part in the groundbreaking ceremony included: Sherron Richard, who participated on behalf of Congressman Marc Veasey; Kelvin Bass, representing State Senator Royce West; and Nedra Warren, Executive Director of the Inland Port Area Chamber of Commerce.
Beginning in summer 2022, the new Oak Cliff location will make it even more convenient for current members and others who live, learn, work or worship in the area to enjoy the benefits of Neighborhood Credit Union membership, including Prize Savings Accounts that reward members for saving their money, rewarding High Yield Savings accounts with one of the highest rates in the region, free checking accounts and some of the best Auto Loans, along with a commitment to financial education and personal service.
