Landmark CU Opens Branch West of Milwaukee

Landmark Credit Union of Milwaukee opened a new branch Monday in Oconomowoc, Wis., 33 miles west of downtown Milwaukee.

A news release from Landmark ($6.5 billion in assets, 392,777 members as of March 31) said the branch employs the first Swiss-made, automated safe deposit box system in the United States. It uses robotics to streamline the process of accessing personal items. The branch is also the credit union’s first to offer a locker system available 24/7, allowing members to securely retrieve important documents outside regular banking hours.

“Combining the advantages of the latest technology and the support of our associates who are making the move, the new Oconomowoc branch will provide innovative solutions and exceptional service to our members,” Brian Melter, chief experience officer, said.

“This branch not only represents a significant investment in the Oconomowoc community, but also showcases some of the most advanced banking technologies available today,” Melter said.

The branch features a contemporary design that incorporates historical building elements such as cream city brick walls and iron bow trusses. “These special touches pay homage to Landmark’s manufacturing roots with Rexnord and its 90-year heritage in the Wisconsin community,” the news release said.

NCUA data showed Landmark had 37 branches and other locations as of March 31.

Branch manager Tyler Sparrow said the new branch will create new opportunities for the credit union.
