The news: Albany-based Pioneer Bank is partnering with USA Gas on a $4 million project to construct a shared building in Clifton Park, New York. The combined gas station, convenience store, and Pioneer branch is slated to open in early 2026, per the Colonie Chamber of Commerce.
Why this matters: Effective branch design strategies can help financial institutions (FIs) attract and retain their target customers.
Pioneer CEO Tom Amell said that partnering with complementary businesses integrates financial services into convenient, everyday locations. Customers stopping for gas or provisions can also accomplish their banking tasks in one stop.
