Chartway expands local presence with Town Center location
VIRGINIA BEACH — Chartway Credit Union opened a new branch in Town Center this week, bringing updated facilities and community support to one of the city's busiest commercial corridors. The office at 224 Constitution Drive joins other recent openings and renovations as part of the credit union’s broader, multiyear growth program across Virginia, Utah and Texas.
The Town Center branch is designed to offer improved technology, better accessibility and dedicated spaces for one-on-one member service, according to Chartway. Company leaders and local officials marked the grand opening; among those in attendance were Virginia Beach Mayor Bobby Dyer and Hampton Roads Chamber President and CEO Bryan Stephens.
“We’re proud to open this branch right in the heart of Town Center and invest in a community that continues to grow and evolve,”
The move is part of a campaign tied to a $3.2 billion credit union network and a sequence of openings since late 2024 that boosted Chartway’s footprint in south Hampton Roads. Chartway now serves more than 265,000 members through branches in three states, and it plans additional openings and renovations throughout 2026.
Local impact and community commitments
At the Town Center ceremony, Compo Construction — the branch’s general contractor — presented a $5,000 gift to the Chartway Promise Foundation. The foundation supports medically fragile children and their families and has previously funded local initiatives: in 2025 it awarded $25,000 to Horizons Hampton Roads for summer-camp scholarships.
- Address: 224 Constitution Drive, Virginia Beach
- Members served by Chartway: 265,000+
- Recent local activity: openings and relocations in Norfolk and Virginia Beach since December 2024
What this means for residents
For Virginia Beach residents, the new Town Center branch brings another option for in-person banking inside a growing mixed-use district. The emphasis on accessibility and personalized service mirrors a broader trend among credit unions and community banks that are refurbishing branches to compete with online services while maintaining neighborhood presence.
Chartway’s continued investment here also signals confidence from a financial institution in the Hampton Roads market — a factor that can influence other businesses evaluating expansion or relocation in the area. The credit union also plans further work in the region, including renovations in Virginia Beach scheduled in 2026, keeping local customers likely to see additional changes to nearby branches.

| Member base | More than 265,000 |
| Foundation gifts | $5,000 donation (Compo Construction); $25,000 to Horizons Hampton Roads in 2025 |
As Town Center continues to evolve with office, retail and residential projects, the arrival of a redesigned Chartway branch is another sign of the district’s shift toward services that support daily life for residents and workers. The credit union has also announced additional openings in Utah later this month and renovation plans that will keep its physical presence in flux through the year.
