FourLeaf Federal Credit Union recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of its new location at 23-88 Bell Blvd. in the Bay Terrace Shopping Center.
This new location, managed by Adnan Khan, reflects FourLeaf’s commitment to growing in diverse and thriving communities like Bayside. This Queens neighborhood features both a vibrant small business scene and a well-established residential base.
The expansion to the Bay Terrace Shopping Center also highlights FourLeaf’s mission of investing in communities and providing accessible, member-first financial services.
As attendees of the ribbon-cutting were treated to a first look inside the branch, FourLeaf had special offers available to new members in celebration of its opening. Additionally, cookies were available to guests, courtesy of the neighboring Chip City.
Some of the notable attendees of the ribbon-cutting ceremony included Assemblymember Edward Braunstein, Vivek Sukumaran of the Bayside Business Association, Queens Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas Grech, Schneps Media CEO Joshua Schneps, FourLeaf Federal Credit Union President and CEO Linda Armyn and Justin Connor from Rep. Thomas Suozzi’s office.
“FourLeaf is about being in the community and being a part of the community. We don’t just open branches. We get to know the community first,” Armyn said. “We spend a lot of time introducing ourselves, meeting our neighbors and ingratiating ourselves into the community before we even open the doors. And that is no different in Bayside. We’ve made a lot of friends.”
Both Braunstein and Connor presented FourLeaf Federal Credit Union with citations in recognition of its opening in the community.
“I’m happy to be here celebrating the grand opening of FourLeaf Federal Credit Union,” Braunstein said. “I’m a resident of Bay Terrace, and we’re always appreciative of businesses that want to invest in the community and provide financial opportunity to the community.”
This opening marks the first expansion by FourLeaf Federal Credit Union since it was rebranded from Bethpage Federal Credit Union earlier this year.
Other FourLeaf locations in Queens can be found in Sunnyside, Ozone Park, Forest Hills and Elmont. There are also more branches in the works across the borough.
“Every one of the folks that [FourLeaf] employs throughout Queens and the area are jobs that provide,” Grech said. “They pay people’s rent, they pay people’s mortgages, they help put their kids through school. We’re very, very grateful for FourLeaf to be here.”
