HarborOne Credit Union expands into Plymouth

HarborOne Credit Union has expanded its branch network with a new location at 43 Commerce Way. The Plymouth branch is HarborOne's 12th retail location in southeastern Massachusetts. "We had previously established a very successful presence with our Mortgage and Loan Center in Plymouth, and we knew that there was great potential for a full-service branch here," said HarborOne president and CEO James Blake. "We're very pleased with the response we've received from new and existing customers for both the retail and business sides. Given Plymouth's growth, this is where we want to be." Blake also noted that they see a great deal of opportunity for residential lending. "Despite the economy and its effects on the real estate market, we've had a steady growth for both mortgages and home equities." Managed by Ed Alfieri of Plymouth and assistant manager Patricia Kaiser of Carver, HarborOne's newest branch offers full-service banking products and services, including free checking, highly competitive rates on CDs and IRAs, home equity loans and lines, consumer loans, and more. According to Alfieri, local business banking specialists are also available to help with financing, business loans and other business banking services. The easy access to the Colony Place shopping center makes the location that much more convenient for customers, Alfieri noted. When HarborOne held its ribbon cutting ceremony, the ribbon was covered with money which Harbor-One donated to the Plymouth Boys & Girls Club.
