Nov. 6—Navy Federal Credit Union celebrated the grand opening of a branch located on Fort Riley US Army Base in Kansas. Base dignitaries, along with executive vice president of branch operations Keith Hoskins, vice president of branch operations Matthew Lawson, and regional manager Janelle Kascht, participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony to signify the end of the renovation.

We want to provide a location for our members to be able to walk into for financial guidance."
The Fort Riley branch is about a 10-minute drive from the closest existing branch in Junction City. The branch will serve more than 7,500 members and will have seven employees working at the base location.
"We are proud to celebrate our grand opening and serve the Ft. Riley community," said regional manager Kate Safstrom. "Our members inspire us each day, and it's an absolute honor to serve those who serve. It's our mission to continue helping our members reach their financial goals for many years to come!"
