COURIER L M B G IFE, FEB. 1–7, 2019 31
Flushing Financial Corporation
(Nasdaq: FFIC), the parent
holding company for Flushing
Bank opened a new branch
in Chinatown on January 23rd
and hosted a Grand Opening Reception
at the Canton Lounge in
Chinatown to celebrate its newest
location at 183 Canal Street, New
York, NY.
John R. Buran, President and
CEO of Flushing Bank, stated:
“Our Grand Opening reception
was well attended by community
leaders, real estate developers,
business owners, and professionals
from the Chinatown market.
We have a long-standing relationship
with the Asian community
and this Chinatown location is a
natural extension of our business
footprint. Over the years, we have
supported numerous local community,
cultural, and charitable
organizations through financial
sponsorships and employee participation.
To demonstrate our
commitment to this community,
we presented a check to the Chinatown
Partnership at our reception.
As a community bank, we
believe it is important to staff our
branches with employees who reflect
and understand the culture
and speak the language of its residents.
Our employees speak over
20 languages with Cantonese and
Mandarin being prevalent in
the Chinese markets we serve.
This full-service branch features
our customer-centric Universal
Banker model with Assisted
Service Kiosk (ASK) and Video
Banker services. This highly-efficient
model gives customers the
flexibility to choose a self-service
option for everyday transactions
or to interact with a Universal
Banker for more complex financial
transactions or problem
resolution. Our Video Banker
service extends the engagement
by connecting customers, faceto
face, with bankers through a
video-chat platform from 7 a.m.
to 11 p.m.”
