NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BayPort Credit Union is expanding its presence in Virginia Beach with the opening of its sixth branch, bringing BayPort to the Oceanfront for the first time. The credit union celebrated the opening of its new Pacific Avenue location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted in partnership with the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce. Virginia Beach City Councilmember Worth Remick, District 6, joined BayPort leadership, community partners and members to mark the occasion.
Located at 3012 Pacific Avenue, the new branch offers a full range of financial services, including everyday banking, lending, business banking and investment services.
BayPort’s expansion into new markets was made possible by its recent transition to a federal charter, opening the door for the credit union to serve more individuals, families, businesses and community organizations beyond its traditional footprint. But BayPort’s commitment to Virginia Beach has gone back more than a decade, with its first branch in the city opening in 2012. Today, BayPort serves more than 18,000 members in Virginia Beach.
The Pacific Avenue location gives members another convenient place to bank in the city, joining BayPort branches on Little Neck Road, Providence Road, Holland Road, Independence Boulevard, and Lynnhaven Parkway.
“We’re especially excited to bring BayPort to the Oceanfront,” said Jim Mears, President and CEO of BayPort Credit Union. “This is a unique and vibrant community, and we’re looking forward to becoming a part of it, not just as a financial institution, but as a neighbor and community partner. We’re proud to offer our full suite of services right here and look forward to welcoming new faces while continuing to deepen our roots in Virginia Beach.”
As a democratically controlled financial institution, BayPort remains focused on serving its members and the communities it calls home. BayPort offers the same products and services as traditional banks while providing the benefits of credit union membership. Membership is open to community residents, their families, and individuals nationwide through qualifying organizations.
