GULF BREEZE, Fla. – Eglin Federal Credit Union has announced plans to open a branch in Gulf Breeze.
Today, Eglin Federal Credit Union (EFCU) said it will start developing a property located on the corner of Tiger Lake Drive and Highway 98 in Gulf Breeze.
The short-term plan is to install two drive-thru ATM/Video Tellers in 2023. This will look similar to the drive-throughs currently being constructed near Niceville High School and at Jonquil Avenue NW and Mary Esther Cutoff NW in Fort Walton Beach, and the recently-announced location in DeFuniak Springs.
Construction of a full-service branch in Gulf Breeze is expected to begin in 2024, EFCU said.
La Macchia Group is the design/build firm for the Gulf Breeze and DeFuniak Springs locations and the upcoming Freeport Branch, the upcoming Pace Branch, and the Operations Center.
“The Credit Union is expanding our footprint to provide convenient and affordable products and services and financial wellness to a growing membership,” said Jerry Williams, Eglin Federal Credit Union President/CEO.
“We opened the Navarre Branch in 2007, the Pace Branch is under construction, and we are looking forward to adding Gulf Breeze as a third location in Santa Rosa County for members.”
Members will have the ability to speak with a live teller over two-way video during regular business hours. Video teller ITMs also operate as ATMs 24/7 using an EFCU ATM or debit card. Additional drive-thru video teller ITMs are located at most of our branches.

“Membership is now open to those who live, work, worship, attend school, and volunteer in specific geographic locations within Santa Rosa and Escambia counties, Florida, and Escambia County, Alabama,” said Neko Stubblefield, Vice President of Membership and Community Development.
“We look forward to continuing our relationship with Santa Rosa County residents and businesses as well as forming partnerships with nearby communities.”
