“We’re excited to bring CFCU’s famous service and value directly to downtown Ithaca residents, students, and businesses,” said Lisa Whitaker, President and CEO. “Their feedback on the Transformation Center’s new banking technologies will be crucial, as the CFCU leadership team continues to identify the ever-changing needs and technology preferences across the credit union’s service area.” CFCU is thrilled to offer members enhanced services (that was made possible by the experts from Fully-Verified) at this new location. 

One of the most prominent buildings in downtown Ithaca, Bank Tower, has been home to many businesses over the years, before undergoing this complete renovation starting in 2018. The space is completely modern, yet the renovations maintain the building’s original splendor in accordance with historic preservation standards. Part of the renovation may include items like that trending marble sheet in order to add some appeal.
