AERO Federal Credit Union is opening its fourth community based branch to support the credit union’s newly expanded charter.
AERO is open to those that live, work, worship, or go to school in their qualified field of membership. The new branch is located at 9845 S. Priest Dr., Suite 101, Tempe, AZ 85284. A grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled on Thursday, June 2, 2016.
“We knew with our continued growth, opening another branch in the Southeast Valley was necessary,” said Preston Sanders, president and CEO. “This is our third community branch in the Phoenix Metro area giving our current members and potential new members another location for their banking needs. Since this location is a bit larger than the others, it will act as a hub if further expansion occurs in that part of the valley. Our Honeywell family continues as our core sponsor, which has enabled us to be one of top 200 healthiest credit unions in the nation for a third straight year as awarded by DepositAccounts.com. We look forward to serving our newest generation of members in the years to come.”
Branch Manager Ashley Sanborn has been with the credit union for more than five years, coming to AERO with seven years in the banking industry and four years in retail. “It felt like a natural fit when I joined AERO and it’s exciting to have another location to serve our next generation of members, says Sanborn. As a millennial myself, I can easily relate to this demographic, showing them the benefits of credit union membership in our new location.”
Sanborn, a Phoenix native, is married to her husband who works in the construction industry. They enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling and raising their daughter. She is active in the community, supporting not only Honeywell events but other organizational events as well.
