Empowering members for more than 70 years, Sun Community Credit Union vows to serve their community in the southwestern California area- with the vision of being the most trusted and respected financial institution by giving extraordinary experiences, options and solutions to those they serve. Their corporate tagline is one that is warm and welcoming- Shine On! After seeking the help of La Macchia Group, the teams worked together to create a beautifully branded space for their community and staff.
This Imperial branch has been reimagined into an urban-coastal oasis, capturing the essence of the vibrant communities Sun Community FCU serves. Stepping inside, members are welcomed into a bright, open-concept space where modern design meets local heritage. Sleek, contemporary furniture and bold brand colors create a dynamic yet inviting atmosphere, while cutting-edge technology ensures a seamless banking experience.
In the more private one-on-one spaces, history comes to life. With the help of the town’s historical society, carefully curated archival images line the walls, offering members an inspiring look into the rich legacy of their community. These powerful visuals serve as a reminder of the institution’s deep local roots and commitment to its members.
The branch’s open layout prioritizes ease of movement, natural light, and accessibility, fostering a sense of connection and engagement. The teller area stands out with its striking blue-tiled counter—an artistic nod to Imperial’s endless skies and beloved neighborhood pools. Glass partitions enhance transparency, embodying the credit union’s core values of trust and openness.
Balancing the expansiveness of the high ceilings with the need for privacy, the space incorporates a thoughtful acoustic design. Recessed speakers in the ceiling provide a subtle layer of soft white noise or uplifting background music, ensuring that conversations remain confidential while the environment stays welcoming.
