Noble Credit Union board members and employees, along with members of the community, gathered at the bank’s new Downtown Fresno location for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate its grand opening.

The branch at 2440 Tulare St. had been in development for about one year. It was relocated from a previous downtown location on Van Ness Avenue after the building was purchased by the Fresno County assessor office.

Including the new branch location, there are five Noble Credit Union branches in Fresno, and one in Clovis.

Susan Ryan, President and CEO of Noble Credit Union, says she was surprised with the turnout for the ribbon cutting ceremony, and says she is happy to be a facet of downtown Fresno.

“I was really amazed,” Ryan said. “It really shows that the community is involved and that the community is happy to welcome us to this area.”
