Finanta opens bilingual credit union in Reading
Stacy Wescoe//April 8, 2026//
Finanta has launched its first credit union in Reading at 240 Penn Street.
This location is fully bilingual in Spanish and English, and will act as a financial center for its current commercial operations, new consumer services and financial education offerings.
Finanta is a 33-year-old nonprofit business loan fund advancing economic opportunities for individuals, families and entrepreneurs in low-income communities by offering accessible financial services and education.
Finanta Credit Union’s strategy builds on this mission with its embedded strategy, which is responsive to the needs of each community where it’s located, and asks members in each geography what financial products and services they need to succeed.
“Finanta exists to provide fair, affordable financial services to people who have too often been left out of financial institutions,” said Daniel Betancourt, CEO of Finanta. “By pairing Finanta Credit Union services with financial education and one-on-one support — in both Spanish and English — we build real relationships with our members and design solutions that help families build wealth and strengthen their communities.”
Building on the successful launches of credit union branches in Lancaster and Philadelphia, the Reading location advances its community-focused strategy to ensure products and services are reflective of the needs of its customers.
