“It’s not like we sit back and say, ‘We’re going to add five branches,’ ” said Tim Draper, the Smithfield-based credit union’s senior vice president of public relations and community engagement. “There’s always a desire to find new locations that allow us to bring exceptional service to areas of the state where we don’t have a presence.”
A successful rebound – both for Navigant and the economy – from the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns helped the credit union pivot to success.
Navigant, which never closed but saw many member-customers flock to digital-banking channels, continues to see strong branch transactions.
