    Plymouth FRC to Open July 23

    The new Plymouth Financial Resource Center (FRC), located at 1629 N Michigan St, across from Centennial Park, is scheduled to open July 23.

    The FRC is lnterra's seventeenth location,  but different from a traditional branch. A no-cash office, it leverages the credit union's expertise in small business, agribusiness mortgage services.

    Office hours at the Plymouth FRC are 9:00 am to 4 00 pm, Monday through Friday, and also by appointment. "Access and ease of use of electronic services are key features at the center," reports Phil Wiens, Chief Retail Officer. "We are excited to serve members and being a part of the community in the Plymouth area."

    Jamie Bales is the new regional vice president of commercial services for the Plymouth area market. Deeply involved and known in the area, Bales comes with extensive experience. Jackie Peters is the branch manager. With a long career in financial services, she has most recently served as the credit union's branch manager for the Bremen and Etna Green offices.
