Redefining the Branch: Purpose, Presence, and the Future of Member Engagement

Glenn Grau, Executive Vice President Sales, PWCampbell

This session explores how modern credit union branches are evolving to drive member acquisition, enhance experience, and strengthen community presence. Learn how hybrid banking models, purposeful branch design, and local engagement strategies are turning branches into powerful tools for growth and relationship-building.

Special emphasis will be placed on how credit unions working with tighter budgets—can still stay competitive and relevant. We'll discuss low-cost refresh strategies instead of full-scale renovations, as well as affordable interactive technologies that can elevate member experience without breaking the bank.
