Local Diamond Credit Union Expands With New Branch

POTTSTOWN PA – Expansion is under way, again, at Diamond Credit Union. The Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township-based financial institution broke ground Tuesday (March 22, 2011) to build a new branch office on U.S. Route 422 West at Pineland Road in Exeter Township, just north of Birdsboro and 14 miles west of Sanatoga village.

Diamond Credit Union representatives and employees, its architect and contractors celebrate Tuesday's ground-breaking for a new branch office in Exeter Township.

Construction is expected during the next 10 months, with an opening anticipated for early 2012. The 4,500-square-foot branch office will employ 14 people, according to Diamond Vice President of Marketing Todd Rothenberger.

“We are all very excited about this project,” John Faust, Diamond president and chief executive officer, said of the new location at 6581-6591 W. Perkiomen Ave., Birdsboro. “Route 422 connects our two largest markets, Pottstown and Reading, and this location will be central to our existing membership and allow us to serve even more people,” he added.

The branch will feature a remote teller system, drive-up automatic teller machines, four drive-through teller lanes, and an interior kiosk for members to access online banking services.

Diamond, the 18th-largest credit union in Pennsylvania, has its corporate headquarters at 1600 Medical Dr., Pottstown, and already operates two additional offices in Reading. Diamond serves more than 39,500 members in eastern Berks, northern Chester and western Montgomery counties, and holds more than $358 million in assets.
