Members 1st Federal Credit Union opens first of five new branches in Lehigh Valley

Cumberland County-based Members 1st Federal Credit Union opened the first of five branches planned for Lehigh Valley in Allentown today. 

The credit union’s Trexlertown branch is located at 5605 Hamilton Blvd. 

“Establishing a presence in the Lehigh Valley reinforces our commitment and dedication to strengthening and investing in the communities we serve,” President and CEO George Nahodil said. “This multi-branch opening has been planned for quite some time. We are grateful for the opportunity to grow in a new region and are confident that our offerings meet the personal and financial needs of the Lehigh Valley.” 

Three additional branch locations will open this summer, including the Macungie branch, 201 West Main St., Macungie, on June 27, Whitehall branch, 2693 MacArthur Road, Whitehall, on July 5, and Emrick Boulevard branch, 2200 Emrick Blvd, Bethlehem on July 11. A fifth Lehigh Valley branch is scheduled to open this fall in Fogelsville. 

The addition of five Lehigh Valley branches expands the credit union’s total branch locations to 61 in central Pennsylvania.  

Each branch will offer a drive-thru, drive-up ATM, lobby service, coin counter and drop box. In addition, Members 1st offers financial and investment services and products including mortgages, credit cards, and a personal concierge as part of Members 1st’s MyConcierge service and more. 

“Whether members are in one of our branches or using our digital banking tools, we pride ourselves in continuing to provide the same, great personalized member service across all channels,” Chief Experience Officer Mike Wilson said. “For years, we have perfected the in-person service in our branches, and we are excited to continue that tradition in Lehigh Valley while simultaneously enhancing our digital tools. This is a really exciting time to become a member.” 

A multi-branch grand opening celebration for its Trexlertown, Macungie, Whitehall and Emrick Boulevard branches will be held Saturday, July 16.  

Since its start in 1950, Members 1st Federal Credit Union has grown to a full-service financial institution with more than half a million members and over $6.5 billion in assets.
