PLANO, Texas, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewPoint Bank's new full-service office in Wylie is now open at FM 544 at McCreary Road. The new location features three drive-thru lanes and a drive-up ATM.

"We are so pleased to bring a full-service bank to Wylie and Murphy residents," said ViewPoint Bank President and CEO Gary Base. "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 bank president of the new location is Demond Dawkins, a Wylie resident with more than 10 years of local banking experience. Active in many local organizations, Dawkins is a member of the Wylie Chamber, graduate of Leadership Wylie and a board member of the Wylie Education Foundation.
