KEY WEST, Fla.–After launching with $110 in a cigar box, Keys Federal Credit Union kicked off its year-long, 85th anniversary celebration by cutting the ribbon on its brand new Stock Island building. It cut the ribbon on International Credit Union Day.
“Opening this new branch isn’t just about growth; it’s about deepening our commitment to the community,” CEO Maggie Sayer told the Keys Weekly. “This project has been years in the making, and being able to celebrate its opening on our 85th anniversary — and on International Credit Union Day — made the moment especially meaningful.”
Having it Your Way in a New Way
County commissioners, community leaders and credit union board members celebrated the new branch, which opened in the former and now unrecognizable Burger King building on Stock Island, Keys Weekly reported.
The credit union was chartered on Oct. 26, 1940 by nine civil service employees who formed NavSta Federal Employees Federal Credit Union.
The $256.5-million Keys Federal Credit Union now has more than 16,000 members and six branches: two in Key West, one on Stock Island, one in Big Pine Key, one in Marathon and one in Tavernier.
