Eglin Federal Credit Union Breaks Ground on its New Pace Branch

July 7th, 2022 Lizeth George Lizeth George Credit Union News, Florida 0 comments

Fort Walton Beach, Fla. (July 6, 2022) – Eglin Federal Credit Union held a groundbreaking ceremony today at its new Pace Branch location. This will be the second Eglin FCU branch located in Santa Rosa County. The Navarre Branch opened nearly 15 years ago. As part of the Credit Union’s growth and expansion efforts, property was recently purchased at 4413 US-90 in Pace. La Macchia Group is the design/build firm for the new Pace branch, the Operations Center and the recently announced Freeport branch, all expected to be completed in 2023.

“On behalf of the Eglin Federal Credit Union Board of Directors, I’d like to be one of the first to congratulate EFCU on this new location. As a local, I am excited we will be offering the benefits of membership to the Pace community and beyond,” said EFCU Chairman William “Bill” Rone. “I am also a proud 50-year EFCU member who can tell the story of how there are more than 122,000 members worldwide, assets are approaching $3 billion, there’s no debt, and EFCU receives top grades on external audit and examination reports. Eglin Federal Credit Union was recently awarded Credit Union of the Year for the State of Florida in the $500 Million and above asset size by the League of Southeastern Credit Unions. I believe TEAM EFCU epitomizes our motto, Where Members Matter Most.”

The National Credit Union Administration recently approved expanding EFCU’s field of membership to include anyone who lives, works (or regularly conducts business in), worships or attends school, and businesses and other legal entities in specific geographic locations within Santa Rosa and Escambia Counties, Florida and Escambia County, Alabama.

Eglin Federal Credit Union President/CEO Jerry Williams said, “We chose this location in Pace to provide convenient access to affordable products and services as well as financial wellness resources to our current members. There are approximately 1,500 members along the Highway 90 corridor in Santa Rosa County, and we are excited to extend the benefits of membership to our new neighbors as well as add value to this community.”

The Pace branch will be approximately 4,000 square feet and will showcase a new open branch design that features universal employees, a member engagement area with interactive touch screen monitors. This will be a full-service branch with safe deposit boxes, coin counter, night drop, touch screen video tellers and drive up ATMs.
