ATLANTA, GA (December 15, 2014) -- America’s First Federal Credit Union, headquartered in Birmingham, AL, has awarded the design, construction and branding of its new Vestavia Hills retail branch to Atlanta-based LEVEL5. The new branch marks the Credit Union’s entryinto the strong Vestavia Hills market.
The Credit Union joined forces with LEVEL5 to complete an analysis of the Birmingham market to identify new growth opportunities for the credit union. The new Vestavia Hills Branch, which will be located at 1112 Montgomery Highway in Vestavia Hills, will provide the credit union with a new market for its suite of deposit and loan products.
Bill Connor, CEO of America’s First Federal Credit Union stated, “We partnered with LEVEL5 for this project, in large part, to help us proactively engage with members in Vestavia Hills in a new, more efficient way. Furthermore, due to the available space afforded by the lot, we decided to add a community room and investment services to this branch to allow for even more opportunity to solidify our commitment to this community.” Connor added, “The new branch should be completed in the summer of 2015.”
Anthony Burnett, Regional Director for LEVEL5, added, “It is such an honor to be able to play a role in the future of America’s First Federal Credit Union. When we began our journey with the Credit Union a year ago, I was immediately impressed with their strong desire to serve their legacy markets well, while simultaneously expanding its footprint into new areas, now evidenced by the Credit Union’s entry into Vestavia Hills.”
