First Niagara Partners With City Of Rochester To Donate Former Bank Branch To Lexington Avenue Federal Credit Union To Ensure Ready Community Access To Financial Services

First Niagara has been planning for the re-use of the closed 762 Joseph Avenue branch since it acquired the property from HSBC in the spring of 2012. In preparation for the branch donation, First Niagara staff removed all stored data from technology being donated, including computers at the location. Existing customers of the credit union, or those interested in becoming a member, can visit its 1275 Lexington Avenue location, or call 585-254-4543 for more information.   

First Niagara will continue to serve the neighborhood from its 70 Lyell Avenue location and 11 other Rochester-area branches.
