Eglin Federal Credit Union (EFCU) celebrated the grand opening of its new Freeport Branch with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 11, marking its first full-service location in Walton County.

The branch, located at 16970 US Hwy 331 S, is the Credit Union’s second location in Walton County and will provide convenient account access for more than 30,000 members living in the area.

“This year marks our 70th Anniversary, and we recognize we wouldn’t be here today without the loyal support of our members and community partners,” said Jerry Williams, President/CEO of Eglin Federal Credit Union. “We thank you for the trust that you have placed in our care.”

The new 4,400-square-foot facility showcases an open branch design with a member engagement area featuring interactive touch screen monitors. It offers a full range of services, including safe deposit boxes, a Coinstar machine, night drop, touch screen video tellers, and drive-thru ATMs.

EFCU has expanded membership opportunities to individuals who live, work, worship, or attend school in, and employees of businesses located within seven approved census tracts in Walton County.

The credit union’s first Walton County location, an ATM/Video Teller Drive-thru in DeFuniak Springs, opened on July 18, 2023.

Williams also noted that EFCU was named the 2023 Large Business of the Year by the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce.

La Macchia Group served as the design/build firm for the new Freeport Branch, as well as for the recently-opened Pace Branch and an Operations Center expected to be completed this year.
