ViewPoint Bank has opened its new full-service community bank office in Wylie, Texas. The new location features three drive-thru lanes and a drive-up ATM.

Gary Base, president and chief executive officer of ViewPoint Bank, said: “We are so pleased to bring a full-service bank to Wylie and Murphy residents. Our more than 2,700 consumer and business customers in the area can now enjoy the benefits and conveniences of a full-service location closer to home.”

The president of the bank at the new location is Demond Dawkins, a Wylie resident with around 10 years of local banking experience. Mr. Dawkins and his bank team are piloting a new Visa Check Card incentive program, FANcentives, to benefit area booster clubs. Participating members of either the Wylie High School Pirate Athletic Booster Club or the Wylie East High School Band Booster Club can earn money for their clubs by simply using their ViewPoint Bank Visa Check Card for everyday purchases.

The new bank will be inaugurated on October 15, 2009. The Wylie bank is the third full-service ViewPoint Bank location to open in 2009. ViewPoint Bank-Grapevine and ViewPoint Bank-West Frisco opened in the spring.

ViewPoint Bank is the wholly-owned subsidiary of ViewPoint Financial Group and operates 23 community bank offices and 16 loan production offices.
