Branching out into the East Valley!

Saturday, November 5, 2005, Arizona Federal celebrated the Grand Opening of our newest branch!

Our Germann In-Store branch is located inside Wal-Mart at 2750 East Germann Road on the northwest corner of Gilbert and Germann.

With so much growth in this area, we’re excited about our new location where we can better serve many of our members. For the Grand Opening celebration, Arizona Federal staff got to know their new Chandler and Gilbert neighbors. Many shoppers stopped by to learn more about Arizona Federal. Several little visitors even got their faces painted. Many shoppers also entered our drawing for a $250 Wal-Mart gift card. Gift cards are handy for the holidays!

For many, shopping at a Super Wal-Mart makes finding what they need effortless and economical. Banking with Arizona Federal is both easy and valuable. Having Arizona Federal inside your favorite Wal-Mart makes dollars and sense! What could be simpler?
