TUSTIN, Calif. — SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union is expanding its branch network across California with the opening of seven new locations as the credit union seeks to provide greater access to in-person financial services for school employees and their families, according to the credit union.
The new branches are located in Burbank, Elk Grove, Ventura, Northridge and the Mid-City area of Los Angeles. Additional branches are scheduled to open later this year in Monrovia and Chula Vista, extending the credit union’s reach in the greater Los Angeles area, the Sacramento region, Ventura County and San Diego County, SchoolsFirst FCU said.
The expansion is part of a broader strategy to add branches in communities where members live and work, making it easier for them to access face-to-face financial services and support, according to the credit union.
‘Simple Focus’
“Our focus is simple: serve school employees and their families well,” SchoolsFirst FCU President Jose Lara said in a statement. “Our branches give Members a place to get guidance from people who understand the financial realities school employees face, right in their own communities.”
SchoolsFirst FCU said the new locations build on its commitment to providing personalized service while increasing access to financial advice, products and services. With the additions, the credit union now operates 73 branches throughout California.
Also Investing in Digital
The credit union said it continues to invest in both physical and digital access as school employees and their families increasingly seek financial guidance and support. Alongside its expanding branch network, SchoolsFirst FCU offers digital banking options that allow members to connect with the credit union through multiple channels.
SchoolsFirst FCU said the latest expansion reflects the geographic diversity of the school employee community it serves across California.
