Vermont Federal CU expands to Essex and South Burlington

Vermont Business Magazine Vermont Federal Credit Union has announced the acquisition and impending opening of two new Credit Union branch locations.

The first branch is located at One Carmichael Street in Essex. The facility, which is located in the Essex Town Center, will provide members and residents of the surrounding community with easy access to a full suite of financial services including a multi-lane drive-thru and 24-hour ATM access. The branch is expected to open to the public early June 2021.

Vermont Federal Credit Union will also be introducing a new branch at 275 Kennedy Drive in South Burlington (the former Community Bank NA/Merchants Bank building).

This location will serve as a branch location for members of the local community and will also act as the Credit Union’s corporate campus.

Renovation of the Kennedy Drive branch and corporate offices will begin this year with a goal of moving in by year end.
