TALLAHASSEE, FL (October 7, 2024) — First Commerce invites the Tallahassee community and surrounding areas to a weeklong series of events October 7-11 celebrating the Grand Re-Opening of its newly remodeled and expanded Summit East Financial Center.
The state-of-the-art full-service financial center is located inside First Commerce’s corporate headquarters at 2073 Summit Lake Drive in the Summit East Technology Park, on Highway 90 near I-10 Exit 209B. Lobby hours are Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., with extended hours for video teller service weekdays and Saturdays, as well as three 24/7 ATMs.
Anyone who stops by this week can experience the new look and expanded services while enjoying complimentary food, fun giveaways and chances to win great prizes.
“First Commerce is thrilled to introduce our newly expanded state-of-the-art financial center, which is the only convenient banking location on Tallahassee’s east side,” said First Commerce CEO Cecilia Homison. “We look forward to serving more families and businesses in this growing area, including our neighbors regularly commuting from nearby places like Monticello.”
Anyone who lives or works in Leon or surrounding counties is eligible to join First Commerce, which has been Tallahassee’s largest locally based community credit union for nearly 85 years and the No. 1 local auto lender for 20 years. In addition to expanding the only financial center in the area, First Commerce contributed to the local economy by investing nearly $500,000 in the renovation project. The credit union also employed 15 subcontractors and vendors – all from local businesses.
