BROCKTON, Mass. — The management of HarborOne Credit Union never dreamed a year ago its MultiCultural Banking Center, designed as a deterrent to Boston's payday lending industry, could turn into a community hub for financial education, language training and social services.
"It's really amazing the transformation of our center," said James A. Blake, the president/CEO of the $1.6 billion HarborOne. The CU has been winning accolades from government leaders and the leadership of the National Credit Union Foundation for undertaking the center project in a former headquarters building.
The center, which celebrated its one-year anniversary Sept. 17, continues to find new community patrons as it serves what the NCUF calls "a model for what other credit unions can do in low- and middle-income outreach."
