Tuesday, October 03, 2017
Tim Draper of Navigant Credit Union joined GoLocal LIVE's Business Monday to discuss the financial institution's growth to South County.
Navigant Credit Union will open two new branches, at 2100 Warwick Ave., in Warwick, and 2300 New London Turnpike, in East Greenwich, both of which are former bank locations of Webster Bank. Navigant Credit Union is hiring more than 15 new employees to operate the two new branch locations. Navigant will be holding a job fair.
Draper, who heads marketing at Navigant, outlined the growth strategy and that the addition of the three branches now places Navigant behind just Citizens Bank and Washington Trust for the most branches of any RI-based financial groups.

Furtado in a statement earlier this week. “While other financial institutions are consolidating their footprints, we’re strengthening our commitment to Rhode Island by investing in the right opportunities to grow and strengthen our brand.”
