Commonwealth CU St. Matthews

Grand Opening of Commonwealth CU St. Matthews Branch

Credit Union’s first branch in Louisville, KY

On October 21, 2014, Commonwealth Credit Union held the Grand Opening for its new St. Matthews Branch in Louisville, KY. This marks the third design-build project completed with its partner LEVEL⁵ since 2012 (Previous projects include branches in Georgetown and Lexington, KY). The St. Matthews Branch is the first branch project for the credit union in Louisville, the largest city in the state of Kentucky.

David Young, Executive Vice President stated, “Our entrance into this vibrant area of Louisville is a huge win for our members. For years, our membership has desired a strong retail presence in Louisville, so they can better utilize our full range of services. This is a bold move for our Credit Union, Board and Membership and we are excited about growing our footprint in Louisville.”

Karen Harbin, CEO of Commonwealth Credit Union added, “Our partner, LEVEL⁵, truly shined in structuring a complex deal and getting us into this crucial market, quickly. We are committed to our existing members and potential new members in the largest city in the state, which is long overdue. At Commonwealth, we definitely see our members differently.”

The St. Matthews Branch mirrors the branded look and feel created with LEVEL⁵ and deployed in Georgetown and Lexington. Furthermore, the branch embraces dialog banking (no teller lines), and includes touch screen technology, video conferencing and sufficient drive thrus to best serve its membership, efficiently.

Alex Rose, Chairman of the Board extolled, “Our design-build partners LEVEL⁵, do excellent work! I absolutely love the new St. Matthews Branch. The interior is so warm and welcoming, I know our growing membership in Louisville will enjoy it too.”

Commonwealth CU – Grand Opening

Hamburg Branch Grand Opening

Commonwealth Credit Union, headquartered in Frankfort, KY, held its ribbon cutting ceremony and celebrated the Grand Opening of it’s new prototypical Hamburg Branch this week in Lexington.

Karen Harbin, Commonwealth’s CEO says, “We are very excited about the opening of this new Hamburg branch for our members in Lexington. This new facility seeks to help us dive deeper into relationships and grow our presence in the community.”

Executive Vice President, David Young adds, “In our new prototype branch we wanted to create a WOW effect and that’s exactly what the design-build team at LEVEL5 delivered. This facility embraces technology, alternative ways of delivering banking services, and focuses on the member experience, so we can continue to improve service to our broad member base.”

The LEVEL5 team was tasked with creating a brand that differentiated the credit union in a very active retail and banking corridor of Lexington. The key element is the branch’s vestibule, which is equipped with LED lights that bring a unique glow to the area, illuminating Sir Barton Way and how the Credit Union sees its members differently.
