Chase Bank announced the opening of its latest Greater Washington location at Rivertowne Commons, 6135 Oxon Hill Road, last week. The new branch is poised to serve the families and businesses of Oxon Hill with a full suite of banking services, including a 24‑hour drive‑up ATM.
Local leadership emphasizes community ties
Branch Manager Taliay Akins and her staff highlighted their deep roots in the area. “Most of us are local and grew up in this community, so we’ve watched Oxon Hill change and grow over the years,” Akins said. “It means a lot to us to bring Chase and financial literacy to a place we call home. We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve our neighbors and look forward to building something meaningful together in Oxon Hill.”
Hours and services for busy families
The Oxon Hill branch operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., providing convenient access for working parents and students. In addition to traditional teller services, the branch offers personal and business account management, loan consultations, and a dedicated financial‑education desk where staff conduct workshops on budgeting, saving for college, and home‑ownership.
Financial literacy as a cornerstone
Chase’s commitment to financial education aligns with the community’s desire for strong, family‑focused resources. The branch plans to partner with local schools, churches, and civic groups to host free seminars that teach essential money‑management skills. These efforts aim to empower parents to guide their children toward responsible financial habits, reinforcing the traditional family values that underpin a thriving neighborhood.
Impact on the local economy
Beyond personal banking, the new branch is expected to create several full‑time positions, contributing to job growth in Prince George’s County. Local merchants anticipate increased foot traffic at Rivertowne Commons, as customers take advantage of the convenient banking services while shopping or dining nearby.
Looking ahead
With the Oxon Hill location now open, Chase Bank signals its confidence in the area’s continued growth. The bank’s presence offers residents a reliable financial partner, while its emphasis on education supports the long‑term economic health of families throughout the community.
