The new location features a modern design focused on accessibility, integrating advanced video teller services with a traditional drive-through. Beyond standard retail banking, the branch provides business services and wealth management tools. CEO Thayne Shaffer noted that the expansion aims to meet members directly within their communities, offering specialized financial workshops covering credit management, fraud prevention, and homeownership.

This growth aligns with the institution’s broader strategy to solidify its presence in the region, where it currently supports over 150,000 members and 2,000 business accounts. A formal ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for August 21, 2026, to mark the milestone. Looking ahead, the credit union plans further expansion with upcoming sites in North Scottsdale, South Scottsdale, and Surprise. As the nation’s sixth-largest credit union, America First manages $25 billion in assets and continues to scale its operations across six states.
