Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union is proud to announce the official opening of its newest branch location at 118 Walnut Street in the City of Lockport. The branch will officially open to members and the community on Wednesday, May 13, becoming Cornerstone’s seventh branch location serving Niagara and Erie Counties.
The new Walnut Street branch reflects Cornerstone’s continued investment in the Lockport community – the place where the credit union’s story first began nearly seven decades ago. Designed to provide greater convenience and accessibility for members throughout the city, the full-service branch will offer deposit accounts, consumer lending, mortgages, and business banking solutions.
The branch will operate Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
“Opening our seventh branch location in the City of Lockport is a meaningful milestone for Cornerstone,” said David Nemi, Board Chairman of Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union. “Lockport is where our roots are, and this expansion reflects our continued commitment to serving the community that has supported us since 1957. We are proud to continue growing in a way that keeps us connected, accessible, and responsive to the needs of our members.”
The Walnut Street location complements Cornerstone’s existing Lockport-area presence, including its Main Office at 6485 S. Transit Road and branch location at 5810 S. Transit Road, further expanding access and convenience for members across the Lockport community.
“We are incredibly excited to officially welcome members into this new branch,” said Eric Hepkins, Chief Executive Officer of Cornerstone. “This location represents more than growth — it reflects our commitment to remaining present in the communities we serve while continuing to provide the personalized financial experience our members deserve. As we continue to grow, our focus remains on supporting our members, strengthening our local communities, and helping individuals and families build financial confidence for generations to come.”
Since 1957, Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union has proudly served Western New York as a trusted, member-owned financial cooperative. The opening of the Walnut Street branch marks another milestone in the organization’s continued growth and mission to provide accessible, community-focused financial services close to home.
In addition to its branch network, Cornerstone offers members a variety of convenient banking solutions, including 24/7 access through the Cornerstone Mobile Banking App, access to more than 5,000 Shared Branching locations nationwide, and instant online loan approvals for personal, auto, and recreational vehicle loans at www.CCFCU.org.
