Union Bank to Close Canyon Country Branch
| Monday, Jul 13, 2015

unionbankccUnion Bank is shutting down its Canyon Country branch sometime in October, bank officials said.

The branch is located at 18710 Soledad Canyon Road, in the same shopping center as the Edwards cinema.

“Many banks are moving in this direction,” said Tanya Peebles-Hill, vice president of corporate communications for Union Bank. “We are responding to changing customer preferences, like mobile banking, and market conditions. This is something banks in this industry are doing in general.”

Customers have been notified and there are other near-by banking locations, Peebles-Hill said.

The bank is directing customers to the Newhall branch at 23620 Lyons Ave.

“Although it was a difficult decision, there were a number of factors that led to this decision,” Peebles-Hill said.

    Logix Credit Union in Golden Valley is great with customer service. Union Banks thinks we want to drive to their branch on Lyons.

    I would guess that it is costing them more to keep this branch site open than what they are making there. No company closes it’s doors at any location unless it is not profitable. Has nothing to do with ‘many banks moving in this direction’ otherwise they’d close the doors to all locations and be an online only bank.

    Guess they should close. I’ve lived here 50 years and never noticed a bank in that center. Hummm.

    I guess closing the doors is considered “moving in a direction”

    My Stevenson Ranch branch closed. This Canyon Country branch is kaput. Only one left here is one location on Lyons,….it just doesn’t sound like the direction-moving preference for customers.

    They should at least keep an ATM there. Now they are down to only Valencia Blvd. and Lyons Ave. and that is not very convenient for customers around the valley :(

    Years ago that was a branch of Valencia Bank which was acquired by Union Bank. It’s not surprising that they’re closing unprofitable branches. There are other choices within a few blocks, though I do wish a credit union would open a branch or at least an ATM along Soledad between Sierra and Camp Plenty.

    I remembered when they put this bank in the plaza and ended up getting robbed. Was never happy living right behind a bank.
