FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla.– Eglin Federal Credit Union held a ribbon cutting ceremony at its new Pace Branch.
This is EFCU’s third location in Santa Rosa County with the Navarre Branch opening nearly 17 years in August 2007. The Gulf Breeze ATM/Video Teller location opened in September 2023. As part of the credit union’s growth and expansion efforts, La Macchia Group is the design/build firm for the new Pace Branch.
The Freeport Branch is opening soon, and the Operations Center is expected to be completed this summer, the credit union said.
NCUA 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 County, Escambia County, Florida as well as Escambia County, Ala.
“There are approximately 15,000 members in Santa Rosa County, and we are looking forward to extending the benefits of membership to our new neighbors near our new Pace Branch,” said CEO Jerry Williams. “We chose this convenient location to provide easy access to affordable products and services as well as financial wellness resources that add value to this community.”
The Pace Branch is approximately 4,400 square feet, showcasing a new open branch design that features a member engagement area with interactive touch screen monitors.
