SAN DIEGO–Mission Fed Credit Union has officially opened its 34th branch site, located at 1170 Broadway Street in Chula Vista.
“We’re proud to continue to better serve our South County members with this location, and happily greeting new members as well,” said Randy Tindell, 1st VP-branch network.
In celebration of the new branch, and true to Mission Fed’s commitment to the community, Mission Fed leadership presented SBCS (formerly South Bay Community Services) with a $1,000 donation. The donation will support SBCS’ Chula Vista Promise Neighborhood program which provides a wide range of help to children, youth, and families in the community including academic help from preschool through college, mental health education, and even food assistance.
“We’re grateful for this donation from Mission Fed which will be invested directly into the success of our community members,” said Kathryn Lembo, president & CEO of SBCS. “Giving back to the communities we all live and work in is our favorite thing to do at Mission Fed. SBCS is an amazing organization and we’re proud to help support this unique program.”

The new branch is led by longtime Chula Vista resident and 16-year veteran of Mission Fed, Mr. Marko Ramirez, Assistant Vice President - Branch Manager. Ramirez was born in Chula Vista, and attended elementary school, middle school and high school in the area.
“I love our community and try to be involved in anything I can, especially doing financial literacy presentations to schools, non-profits and local businesses,” said Ramirez.
The credit union said he is also very involved through his three children (ages 17, 14 and 8). Ramirez also serves the local community as an assistant coach to Olympian High School’s wrestling team and conditioning coach to his oldest son’s soccer team. He enjoys running marathons and traveling with his family and friends..
