Branching Out in Bettendorf

Sep 23, 2025 || By Lisa Perkins, Regional Director, Retail Delivery

As someone who’s been a part of IHMVCU for eight years, I can honestly say that it’s an incredible feeling to be able to share this exciting milestone with you. Construction has officially begun on our brand-new Bettendorf - Competition Drive Financial Center and I couldn’t be more thrilled about what this means for our members, the community, and the future of banking!

Why this location matters

Opening our 14th branch isn’t just about expanding our footprint, it’s about growing our ability to serve and support the communities that count on us. For us, it’s about being where our members need us most, offering easy access to services, and creating opportunities for engagement that go beyond just banking transactions.

Our new location will be in the heart of northeast Bettendorf, close to The Plex, and will serve as a vital part of our mission to make banking simple, efficient, and, most importantly, accessible. The neighborhood has seen so much growth, and we’re excited to meet new neighbors, help local businesses thrive, and continue supporting our long-time members in this area.

A new kind of banking

So, what makes this location different from the typical branch you might be used to? The biggest change is how you interact with us. In a traditional branch, teller lines handle face-to-face transactions. At our Financial Center, those same transactions are completed through video tellers, with our local team nearby to assist whenever needed.

This modern setup allows for faster service and extended access, all while keeping the personal connection at the heart of what we do. The technology enhances your experience without replacing it. You’ll still get the same friendly, personalized service, and our team will have more time to focus on what really matters, building real relationships and providing guidance tailored to your goals.

Building stronger community connections

Opening this Financial Center isn’t just about providing more access to banking, it’s about making a real impact on the community. With this new location, we’ll have even more opportunities to engage with northeast Bettendorf through events, workshops, and financial education programs. Whether it’s offering advice on saving for the future, managing credit, or understanding the ins and outs of business finance, we want to make sure everyone has the tools and knowledge to take control of their financial well-being.

Our team is passionate about helping people make informed decisions and achieve their financial goals. This new branch will be an important hub for that work, and we’re excited to be more involved than ever in the community.

A personal invitation

I’m incredibly proud of what we’re building with this new Financial Center, and I’m excited for you to see it. This is the next chapter in IHMVCU’s growth, and it’s all about offering a more modern, flexible banking experience that still focuses on what truly matters, our personal relationships with you.

I’d love to connect with you as we get closer to opening day! Stay tuned for updates on when the branch will be ready to serve you, and feel free to reach out with any questions. We’re here to help!

Thank you for your continued trust in IHMVCU. I look forward to welcoming you to our new Bettendorf location!
