Group Health Credit Union (GHCU) has relocated its Redmond branch to Bellevue. The new branch, which opened for business Feb. 17, is located at 1048 116th Ave. N.E., in the Bellevue Design Market Center.

The branch has six employees and is managed by Bev Hamre, who has been with GHCU since 1983 and has been a branch manager since 1991. Assistant manager Kim Leggett joined GHCU in 2006, having worked for two other credit unions.

The Bellevue branch does not have a traditional teller line. All staff are cross-trained so that members can sit down and conduct their business with any staff member.

“We find our members feel more at ease if they can sit down while their transaction is being handled,” Hamre explained. “It’s friendlier: they can take their time and not feel rushed or intimidated.”
