Notre Dame Federal Credit Union has arrived in Lake County.
The South Bend-based credit union opened a branch at 1200 119th St. in the new Illiana Building in downtown Whiting "just in time for Pierogi Fest."
"It's always great to have another banking option expanding in your community," said Tom Dabertin of the Whiting-Robertsdale Chamber of Commerce, which celebrated a ribbon-cutting of the new credit union branch last week. "Everybody knows the Notre Dame name. It's exciting Notre Dame Credit Union decided to put its first Lake County branch in Whiting."
