PARDA CREDIT UNION

For nearly 90 years, Parda Credit Union has built its reputation around putting people first. Founded in 1937 to serve employees of Parke-Davis, the credit union has grown to serve more than 15,000 members across four states while remaining focused on personalized service, financial education and the communities it calls home. That commitment to its members helped drive Parda’s decision to relocate its Ypsilanti, Michigan branch to a larger, more accessible location designed to better support its growing membership.

The previous branch had become increasingly limited by its size, creating an opportunity for Parda to rethink how the physical space could better serve members and support its continued growth. The new location provides a more spacious and welcoming environment, improved parking and greater convenience for members.

Inside, the branch creates a comfortable setting where members can handle everyday banking needs while also having space for more personal conversations and financial guidance. The expanded footprint gives Parda greater flexibility to serve members while providing additional opportunities for community engagement.

Convenience was also an important consideration. The new location includes drive-thru service, a 24-hour ATM and night deposit access, giving members more ways to bank on their schedule.

The Ypsilanti relocation builds on Parda’s continued investment in its physical branch network and its belief that the branch remains an important part of the member experience. Rather than simply creating a place to complete transactions, the new space gives Parda an environment where its people-first approach can come to life.

La Macchia Group’s relationship with Parda extends beyond the design and construction of its spaces. Through strategic market analysis, branding and branch transformation, the partnership has focused on ensuring Parda’s physical environments support its long-term goals while creating an experience that reflects who they are as a credit union.

The new Ypsilanti branch is another step forward in that evolution, providing Parda with a welcoming, accessible space designed to better serve its members today while supporting the credit union’s future growth.
