“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. We thank you for the trust that you have placed in our care. It is a responsibility that we do not take for granted,” said EFCU President/CEO Jerry Williams.

“We embrace the credit union philosophy of people helping people, and we believe that when you lead with values and do the right things, that good things happen. We are proud Eglin Federal Credit Union was named the 2023 Large Business of the Year by the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce. Thank you for celebrating our first Walton County Branch. We look forward to serving this community and growing the Credit Union family.”

The Freeport Branch is approximately 4,400 square feet and showcases a new open branch design with a member engagement area featuring interactive touch-screen monitors. This full-service branch has safe deposit boxes, a Coinstar® machine, night drop, touch-screen video tellers, and drive-thru ATMs.
