Members 1st Federal Credit Union opens first of five branches in Lehigh Valley
Credit union expands its footprint to serve Lehigh Valley community
MECHANICSBURG, PA (June 21, 2022) — Members 1st Federal Credit Union, a full-service financial institution with more than half a million members and over $6.5 billion in assets, opened its new Trexlertown Branch today. Located in Allentown at 5605 Hamilton Blvd., the Trexlertown Branch is the first of five new branches planned to open in the Lehigh Valley this year.
“Establishing a presence in the Lehigh Valley reinforces our commitment and dedication to strengthening and investing in the communities we serve,” President & 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 on June 27 (201 West Main Street, Macungie), Whitehall Branch on July 5 (2693 MacArthur Road, Whitehall) and Emrick Boulevard Branch on July 11 (2200 Emrick Boulevard, Bethlehem). 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. Beyond Lehigh County, Members 1st branches are located in Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York counties.
Each branch will provide an array of services including a drive-thru, drive-up ATM, lobby service, coin counter and drop box. In addition, Members 1st offers financial and investment services and products with competitive rates, including mortgages, credit cards, a personal concierge as part of Members 1st’s innovative 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.”
In conjunction with the opening of the Trexlertown, Macungie, Whitehall and Emrick Boulevard branch locations, new members can take advantage of special promotions. Members of the Lehigh Valley community can also participate in Members 1st’s “Passport to Summer in Lehigh Valley” by picking up a passport at one of the four branches and earning stickers after visiting each Lehigh Valley branch featured inside the passport. Once four stickers are secured, the passport can be returned to an associate to be entered into a grand prize giveaway—a $1,000 gas gift card or one-time-use of the Members 1st suite at the PPL Center in Allentown.
To commemorate the openings of these branches, Members 1st will host a multi-branch grand opening celebration at its Trexlertown, Macungie, Whitehall and Emrick Boulevard branch locations on Saturday, July 16 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Guests can enjoy a sweet treat from a Valley-area food truck, pick up free Members 1st swag and enter to win a $250 gift card from ArtsQuest Steel Stacks, Cabela’s®, The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley or Wawa®.
