The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod is continuing its expansion in Falmouth with the opening of a full-service branch in North Falmouth later this year. 

The Hyannis-based bank recently completed the purchase of 660 North Falmouth Highway and expects to begin renovations on the building in mid-June. 

The 1,500-square-foot branch will offer consumer and business banking products and services, as well as residential and commercial lending. The bank will also feature a drive-up teller window and a full-service, 24-hour ATM. 

Slated to open later this year, the branch will be the eighth location for The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod. The North Falmouth branch comes on the heels of the grand opening of the bank’s loan and business development center at 649 Main St. in downtown Falmouth last month.

"We’re very excited about our expansion into North Falmouth. When we opened our loan and business development office downtown, we said we were committed to bringing true community banking back to Falmouth. This new branch is in a terrific community and we look forward to providing our positively different banking experience to the residents and businesses in North Falmouth," Joel Crowell, president of The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod, said in a statement.

The bank expects to hire up to six full-time employees to staff the new branch.

The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod, which has more than $650 million in assets, also has branches in Hyannis, Yarmouth Port, East Dennis, West Barnstable, Sandwich and East Harwich.
