BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The $1.2 billion Polish and Slavic Federal Credit Union has launched a mobile branch to bring the CU closer to its steadily farther flung membership.

The mobile branch is a forty foot truck which carries an ATM, a member service area, and two teller windows. Members banking at the mobile branch will be able to make deposits and withdrawals as well as applying for a wide variety of loans, including credit cards.

“Technology, and information technology in particular, has been our tool of choice to help our credit union grow. Just a few years ago it would have been impossible to process transactions in real time; now, thanks to the wireless connectivity, our mobile branch has full functionality you would expect from a traditional branch.” said Bogdan Chmielewski, Polish and Slavic CEO. “This is also a unique and modern way to introduce the credit union difference to potential new members, while at the same time servicing so many of our dispersed membership in those areas.”
