Established in 1959, Lisbon Community FCU offers a variety of loan and savings programs, including savings and checking accounts, money market, IRA accounts and certificates, free VISA debit cards, home banking, bill payer and eStatements. On the lending side, mortgages, construction loans and home equity lines of credit are offered in addition to new and used vehicle loans, and VISA credit cards.
“The board welcomes the Lewiston-Auburn community to our beautiful new Sabattus Street branch to experience how our members have been building futures and preserving dreams for over 50 years,” said John Silvestri, president of the board of directors. “We are anxious to have people in the community learn firsthand how we take very seriously the credit union philosophy of ‘ people helping people.’”
Located at 802 Sabattus St., on the corner of Old Greene Road, the credit union sits on the former site of Thorne’s Corner grange hall, most recently used as cold storage space for area businesses. Adjacent to Roopers Beverage and Redemption Store, the new full- service branch features a drive-up area and a SURF Network ATM.
“This is a real success story that represents the true partnership and collaboration in this community,” said George Dycio, economic development specialist for the Lewiston- Auburn Economic Growth Council. “By working closely with the credit union’s Realtor, we were able to identify several sites along Sabattus Street that were considered to be viable sites for the new credit union.”
Lisbon Community FCU’s Lewiston branch hours match the Lisbon main office with drive- up teller service and Saturday hours: Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p. m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. On weekdays and Saturday, drive-up service will be available beginning at 7:30 a.m.
