No teller stations at new-look credit union

Kawartha Credit Union celebrated the newly renovated Chemong Road location with a recent grand re-opening.

Branch manager Dana Chambers says that each customer will now be greeted in a private office, not the traditional teller stations, allowing for a more private conversation and transaction, as well as two 24-hour ATMs and Monday through Saturday hours of operation. Kawartha Credit Union is an amazing local success story, now serving over 50,000 customers from 25 branches between Cornwall and Parry Sound. Kawarthacu.com
