Result

ERIEBANK’s Woodmere branch opened with predictable budget, rapid design-to-build progression, and a consistent customer experience aligned with CNB’s network standards. Using the prototype allowed ERIEBANK to focus resources on other critical business priorities rather than re-engineering a new branch from scratch.

CNB Bank Proto Model Execution: Project Highlights

CNB Bank partnered with The Element Group to design a new prototype branch model applicable to all divisions, including BankOnBuffalo, ERIEBANK, FCBank, and Ridge View Bank. The aim was to develop a versatile retail model that could be quickly implemented, suitable for both new constructions and renovations, and provide a uniform customer experience across different markets.
