VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.– Chartway Credit Union will be celebrating the grand openings of two new branch locations this July: Town Center in Virginia Beach, Va., on July 9, and Herriman in Herriman, Utah, on July 21.
Two other branches are also undergoing renovations in 2026. With recent growth pushing Chartway to $3.2 billion in assets and membership of more than 265,000 member-owners, the credit union continues to invest in the communities it serves in Virginia, Utah, and Texas, the credit union said.
“The two new locations mark the next chapter in Chartway’s multiyear expansion and modernization efforts, designed to ensure members have convenient access to the products, services, and personalized support they need whether in‑branch, online, or through innovative digital tools,” according to the credit union. “Together, the openings and branch refreshes reflect Chartway’s long‑standing commitment to investing in the communities it serves while evolving alongside the people who live and work there.”
“Growth for Chartway has always been about more than physical expansion. It’s about showing up for our members and communities in meaningful ways like putting families in homes and cars, creating pathways for young people to thrive financially, and helping small businesses grow,” said Brian Schools, president and CEO of Chartway Credit Union. “By opening new, modern branches in thriving communities like Virginia Beach and Herriman, we’re reinforcing our promise to meet people where they are and provide financial solutions that support every stage of life.”
Investing in Communities, Growing with Purpose
The new Virginia Beach Town Center branch strengthens Chartway’s presence in its south Hampton Roads market, offering members expanded access in one of the region’s most active business and lifestyle hubs. In Utah, the Herriman opening represents a return to a fast-growing community where Chartway has deep roots and a renewed opportunity to serve more families and businesses.
Purposefully designed with the member experience in mind, both branches feature welcoming, modern spaces supported by advanced technology and knowledgeable local teams, allowing members to connect with Chartway in the way that works best for them.
“Our history in Herriman runs deep, and we’re proud to return to this community in a bigger and better way than before,” said Melissa Cade, Chartway’s chief experience officer. “Herriman continues to grow, and so do the needs of the people who call it home. This new branch reflects our commitment to evolving alongside the community—while staying true to who we’ve always been; a trusted financial partner invested in people, relationships, and long-term wellbeing.”
Meeting Members Where They Are
The July openings are part of Chartway’s broader strategy to ensure accessibility across physical locations, digital channels, and personalized service models. In the first quarter of 2026, Chartway significantly advanced its members digital experience with personalized mobile banking to include integrated credit score monitoring and subscription management as well as bilingual digital banking, new credit cards, and free next-gen financial tools for children and teens.
“As communities grow and member preferences evolve, Chartway continues to invest in branches that complement its expanding suite of products and services, making it easier for members to manage their financial lives how and where they choose,” the credit union said.
