BREMERTON — Navy Federal Credit Union held a grand opening ceremony for a branch relocation Jan. 12.

The relocated branch is within walking distance to the Bremerton Ferry terminal and less than two blocks from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.

The branch serves approximately 23,000 members living in the region, including those from the shipyard and two aircraft carriers. Located approximately three and a half miles from the previous location, the branch is part of seven other Navy Federal branches in Washington state.

“Relocating within Bremerton gives our members easier access to the branch,” said Vicki Archer, Navy Federal regional manager. “Proximity to the shipyard and ferry terminal provides convenience for many service members and credit union members.”

Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent attended the ceremony and participated in the ribbon cutting, signifying the branch is open for business.

The branch offers a full range of products and services, including a coin machine, notary, mortgage services, and a full-service walk-up ATM. Lobby hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The new location is at 555 Pacific Ave., Suite 110.

The relocation is one of eight Navy Federal branches slated for new locations in 2015.

Navy Federal also plans to open 20 new branches this year, including one in nearby Tacoma in the spring.
