New Oxford/Anniston Branch
On July 1st, Brassies Credit Union in Anniston, AL merged with Family Savings Credit Union. Brassies CU was a community chartered credit union serving those who live, work or worship in Calhoun County with a membership of over 500. This merger was a result of Brassies CU's need to grow and continue to flourish in their community. The credit union was previously offering Share/Savings Accounts, Christmas Clubs and Loans. After this merger and becoming a part of Family Savings CU, former Brassies members will have access to checking accounts, online and mobile banking, mortgage loans, and more. The opportunities are endless. We are excited to have our new members join our over 64,000 members.
The Anniston Branch is located at 1800 Golden Springs Rd, Anniston. Michelle Rich will continue to lead the branch as the Branch Manager. This branch is open to all FSCU members and is a service center as well, so if you live or pass by this branch, i encourage you to stop in and meet the crew. We wish to thank the members of Brassies for their confidence and trust in Family Savings CU. Learn More
