Branch Makeover: Live from the Financial Brand Forum

As one of three design teams selected at the Financial Brand Forum, we were challenged with presenting a branch design concept to NYC-based Municipal Credit Union—live on stage, in front of 900 conference attendees. This presented a terrific chance to share our perspective on innovation.

Not far from Microsoft, amid Bellevue Washington’s affluent high-tech community, BECU built a flagship branch engineered for advisory, investment, mortgage, and business services.

Beginning early 2013, Weber Marketing Group and architectural partners EHS Design, sat down with one of the country’s leading credit unions, BECU. Together, we searched for answers to some challenging questions: How do we build a facility for the affluent Eastside community? How do we make transactions more efficient while boosting our advisory services? How do we make a statement to the Eastside that this credit union is as sophisticated in its business offerings as any local bank?

10 Months later, we had the answer. This is a photo tour of BECU’s Eastside Financial Center. Together, we’ll take a careful look at the spaces that make this facility so special.
