Lowell-based Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union has reopened its full-service branch at Dracut High School.
The Dracut High School branch is 265 square feet and includes two teller stations and a night depository. It instantly issues debit and credit card and will offer students an introduction to financial services course, which teaches them the basic principles and practices of credit unions and the financial industry.
The newly refurbished branch was closed while Dracut High School was undergoing extensive renovations over the past year.
The branch is managed by Heather Pintal, who has been promoted to financial education manager. Pintal has 15 years of experience at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union and worked at the Lowell High School branch for eight years. She is a certified educator in personal finance and has served as liaison to several elementary schools for Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union’s Bank At School program.
“Mrs. Pintal is a knowledgeable and dedicated financial educator,” Mark S. Cochran, president and CEO of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union said in a statement. “We are excited to have her managing not only the branch but also the financial education of the Dracut High School students who will be working there.”
