Dupaco Community Credit Union Celebrates Mineral Point Branch Ribbon Cutting
MADISON, WI – Dupaco celebrated the completion of its new branch in Madison, located at 7701 Mineral Point Rd., with the Madison Chamber of Commerce leading a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, September 27.
The 12 Dupaco staff that currently occupy the space full-time are available to coach members and provide one-on-one personalized financial service and advice underpinning the credit union’s mission to help members build a life worth loving.
Dupaco opened the branch in June 2022 when the financial cooperative combined with Madison-based Home Savings Bank.
Former Home Savings Bank CEO Jim Bradley said the acquisition was an obvious cultural and geographic fit that helped create enhancements for the two financial institutions. “Combined, Dupaco reinforces the foundation of a credit union that prioritizes the well-being of our members, employees and communities,” he said.
Alongside members, branch staff coach members to use the tools available to them to improve members’ social and economic well-being according to Mineral Point Rd. Branch Manager, Jon Nugent. “No matter where you are in life’s financial journey, Dupaco has the tools to reduce those financial stressors, helping members meet their goals and attain a great well-being.”
The phone number for the Mineral Point Rd. branch is 608-282-6000. Branch hours are:
