Eglin Federal Credit Union celebrated the grand opening of its new DeFuniak Springs Branch with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 25, 2026.
- Located at 677 US Highway 90 W, the DeFuniak Springs Branch is the credit union’s second full-service branch and third location in Walton County. The Freeport Branch opened in July 2024, and the Santa Rosa Beach ATM/Video Teller Drive-thru at 4634 U.S. Highway 98 W opened on May 11, 2026.
The new branch is approximately 4,400 square feet and features an open design with interactive touchscreens, a Coinstar machine, night drop, touchscreen Video Tellers and drive-thru ATMs.
“Our newest branch in DeFuniak Springs continues our tradition of delivering five-star service, personalized support and meaningful financial guidance to help our members achieve their goals,” said Eglin FCU President and CEO Cathie Staton. “Our members have looked forward to a full-service branch in DeFuniak Springs for many years, and I’m excited that day has finally arrived. We recognize that this milestone wouldn’t be possible without the loyal support of our members and community partners. The trust you place in us is something we take seriously, and we look forward to continuing to enhance the communities we serve while growing our Credit Union family.”
The community was invited to “Swing By & Stay Cool” at the event. Cumulus Broadcasting was on site spinning tunes, Dippin’ Dots was offered, and a drawing was held for two attendees to win a Yeti Roadie cooler.
La Macchia Group served as the design/build firm for the new branch. The firm also designed and built Eglin FCU’s recently opened Pace Branch, Freeport Branch, Operations Center and Santa Rosa Beach ATM/Video Teller Drive-thru.
Eglin Federal Credit Union offers membership opportunities to individuals who live, work, attend school or worship within its geographic field of membership in Walton County.
