Chase Opens New Branch In Hercules Shopping Center

HERCULES, CA — A new Chase bank branch opened last week at a new Hercules shopping center.

The full-service branch at the corner of San Pablo and Sycamore avenues — 4040 San Pablo Ave. to be exact — has a new design and replaces the Chase branch formerly at 3600 San Pablo Ave.

At the building with a sleek design, customers can use digital banking technology such as tablets and telepresence, along with deposit-friendly ATMs that dispense cash in multiple denominations. The branch offers an open environment for customers, as well as breakout spaces for more collaboration.

"We’re thrilled to open our beautiful branch in vibrant Hercules, as part of the new shopping center right in the heart of town," Branch Manager Maricris Ramos said in a news release. "Our team is excited to welcome Chase customers, the local community and businesses to our new collaborative space, and we’re ready to provide you with the services and expertise that meets your financial needs."

Branch hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. The phone number is 510-741-9070.

To safeguard employees and customers, the branch features teller partition glass, alcohol-based hand sanitizer available in the main lobby, transaction lines and reception areas and a regular cleaning protocol to help reduce the spread of germs and viruses.

The branch is the first retail space to open at the new shopping center.

Hercules resident Suman Behari, who serves as market director for banking for JPMorgan Chase, said she sees even more growth opportunities for the community.

"I've been in Hercules for 29 years, raising my two sons and watching this town grow so much over the years ... " Behari said. "I'm excited about everything that is happening around the city and being able to be here for our customers and my neighbors, whether they're opening their first savings account, purchasing a home, or planning for retirement."
