Veridian Credit Union has started construction of a new branch that is scheduled to open in spring 2019 at 655 E. Hickman Road. The new branch will employ nine people in nearly 4,000 square feet with space for mortgage and other consumer lending. It will also offer safe deposit boxes, a coin machine, six teller stations and three drive-up lanes, including one with an ATM. This will be Veridian’s 32nd branch and ninth in Greater Des Moines.
