BayPort Credit Union Expands Presence with New Branch in Highland Springs, Richmond Area

BayPort Credit Union Expands in Richmond Area

BayPort Credit Union is making strides in its mission to serve communities better by celebrating the grand opening of its first branch in the Richmond area, specifically in Highland Springs. This significant event took place on June 11, 2026, and marks a notable expansion for the credit union that has deep roots in Virginia.

The grand opening was highlighted by a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony organized in partnership with ChamberRVA. Local dignitaries, business leaders, and members of the community flocked to witness this milestone, including prominent figures like Tyrone Nelson, a Varina District Supervisor from the Henrico County Board of Supervisors, alongside other representatives from local public institutions. Their presence underscored the collaborative spirit and community engagement that BayPort aims to nurture in its new branch.

Located at 109 E Nine Mile Road, the Highland Springs branch is equipped with BayPort's innovative YourTeller® interactive teller machines. These facilities enable members to handle a range of complex banking tasks securely and comfortably right from their vehicles — an important feature in today's fast-paced world.

In addition to modern banking technology, the new branch is designed to serve as a hub for various support services, such as mortgages and investments. The facility replaces the previous Credit Union Service Center, encompassing comprehensive offerings that aim to serve existing local members and attract new clientele. BayPort has already built a strong local membership of over 500 individuals in this community, and this new location will play a critical role in deepening those community ties and expanding BayPort's reach.

This expansion reflects BayPort's recent shift to a federal charter, which opens the door to a broader audience. With this new designation, the credit union is positioned to serve not just its long-time members but also individuals and businesses throughout Virginia and even beyond its traditional footprint, including nationwide online banking members.

Founded in 1928 by twelve shipyard workers in Newport News, BayPort Credit Union has always been committed to providing accessible financial services to the community. Today, it stands as a Bauer Financial 5-Star Superior-rated credit union with assets totaling approximately $2.7 billion. BayPort proudly serves more than 156,000 individuals and businesses through its growing network of 31 branches across Virginia. The credit union remains focused on its fundamental belief that everyone deserves reliable financial support and services.

Today's grand opening is not merely a celebration of a new location but represents BayPort's ongoing commitment to community enhancement, growth, and the evolution of its services to meet the changing needs of its members. As the Highland Springs branch opens its doors, it signals an exciting new chapter in BayPort's journey—a step forward in ensuring that quality banking services remain accessible to all, regardless of their standing. With an ethos rooted in community service, BayPort Credit Union continues to challenge the conventional norms of banking by prioritizing member experiences and fostering financial wellbeing for everyone.
