PurePoint® Financial Opens Financial Center in Gold Coast

This new location at 852 N. State Street is the fourth PurePoint Financial Center in the region but first in Chicago proper, building upon their successful presence in La Grange, Skokie, and Glendale Heights. Starting today, the Chicago community will be able to visit the Financial Center and enjoy a modern, streamlined and cashless experience along with a relaxed setting and hospitality area. Clients will also enjoy market-leading rates on savings accounts and CDs, no monthly fees, and knowledgeable savings professionals who are available to answer questions about FDIC insurance[i] and how best to save.

"Chicago is a major financial hub, replete with people who want to save more and appreciate the flexibility to grow their earnings at a time and place that makes sense for them," said Pierre P. Habis, President of PurePoint Financial. "We've established great relationships with Chicagoans at our other locations and we look forward to helping the community attain their savings goals."

PurePoint launched just one year ago, and was created to provide committed savers with what they want –– market-leading rates, the convenience and around-the-clock access that comes from banking online and the ability to meet with a savings professional in-person when needed. The hybrid digital bank has continued to offer a unique savings experience tailored to the evolving needs of consumers and emphasizing service to their clients and local communities. PurePoint exclusively offers savings accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs), combining the convenience of online banking with an exceptional client experience online, over the phone or in-person at PurePoint Financial Centers.

PurePoint Financial Center celebrates renowned Chicago photographer

In conjunction with the Gold Coast location opening its doors, PurePoint will pay homage to the multifaceted culture seen throughout Chicago by creating a gallery for Todd Rosenberg, an equally versatile photographer. A Chicago native, Rosenberg has covered major events for the National Football League, toured with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chicago's Hubbard Street Dance company, and provided stunning sports and entertainment industry images to publications and venues nationwide. His one-of-a-kind photography will be hosted at the PurePoint Gold Coast Financial Center.

"We have built a solid client base of committed savers throughout the greater Chicago area but until now, we didn't have a physical presence in the city," said Dejan Bralic, Chicago Market Executive for PurePoint Financial. "We are delighted to open our doors within the historic Gold Coast and showcase artwork that represents so much of what makes this city so special."
