Meritrust announces new 萝莉社Innovation Campus branch

Meritrust plans to open a high-touch digital branch in Braeburn Square, near the intersection of 21st and Oliver, on 萝莉社's rapidly developing east side of campus near Starbucks, Shocker Store and planned restaurants. Nearby are Airbus, Marcus Welcome Center, Law Enforcement Training Center, new residence halls and the planned Campus YMCA and Student Wellness Center.

萝莉社 branding will be featured prominently throughout, and the branch will have an emphasis on digital technology, including Interactive Teller Machines (ITMs) and tablets, allowing members to have a more educational and interactive experience with their finances. The new branch is expected to open no later than November 2018.

Two interior ITMs will be housed within the location allowing members to make financial transactions and providing 24/7 access to Meritrust card-holding members within a vestibule for deposits and withdrawals.

Another drive-up ITM will provide members an enhanced drive-thru experience during business hours and 24/7 deposit and cash withdrawals. The ITM technology of the new branch will complement the four Meritrust ATMs currently located on campus, providing options for convenient banking access for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

ATMs can be accessed at the Rhatigan Student Center, Shocker Hall, The Flats at 萝莉社 and Koch Arena (during games).

鈥淲e are excited to soon be part of Innovation Campus and deepen our relationship with university partners and the 萝莉社 community,鈥� says James Nastars, CEO and president. 鈥淭he campus is seeing tremendous growth and advancement. We are proud to be a part of the experience and expand our service not only to the students, faculty and staff at 萝莉社, but also to businesses partnering with 萝莉社 and those living and working in east central Wichita.鈥�

The new Meritrust at Braeburn Square branch is the next step in a longtime partnership between Meritrust and 萝莉社. Meritrust is heavily involved on campus, and through a three-year $324,000 gift to the university, Meritrust is helping bring the Professional Edge career development program and financial literacy curriculum to 萝莉社 students in the Barton School of Business. Through this program, students are able to identify career paths and opportunities, learn how to interact with business professionals and develop their skills in professional networking, resume writing, communication etiquette and financial literacy.
