Affinity Federal Credit Union Expands Presence with Grand Opening of River Edge Branch

The credit union’s 13th branch in NJ highlights its commitment to supporting the wellbeing of members in strategic areas

BASKING RIDGE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Affinity Federal Credit Union (“Affinity”) is celebrating the grand opening of its new branch in River Edge, New Jersey, with a community celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Located at 913 Kinderkamack Road, the branch opened on August 14 and reinforces Affinity’s longstanding commitment to supporting the financial wellbeing of its members and deepening its roots in Bergen County.

“We believe that a strong community is built upon the foundation of people helping people,” said Kevin Brauer, CEO and President of Affinity. “Whether it’s opening a high yield savings account, seeking an auto loan or needing assistance with a resume, we are excited about supporting the wellbeing of those in River Edge and its surrounding communities.”

Affinity is opening its doors to the River Edge community in an effort to create new, long-lasting partnerships with individuals and small businesses while building upon previously-established relationships with members of the neighboring Oradell community, where the institution recently closed a branch.

"I am thrilled to witness our vision for this new branch become a reality,” said Shawn Lubitz, Vice President, Retail and Digital Branches at Affinity. “Our commitment to empowering individuals, families, and local businesses with tools and expertise to better their financial lives are at the heart of this endeavor. We look forward to servicing new and existing members at our River Edge branch."
