AmFirst lands Alabaster site for 24th branch

Birmingham-based AmFirst Credit Union has acquired nearly 8 acres of land in Alabaster to build a new branch. 

Located on AL-119 just north of the intersection of Thompson Road, this will be AmFirst’s fourth branch in fast-growing Shelby County and their first in Alabaster. The other three Shelby County locations serve Inverness, Calera and Pelham.  

AmFirst has been around since 1936 and now serves more than 200,000 members across 22 locations in 13 Alabama counties.

New Alabaster branch to become AmFirst’s 24th

The new Alabaster location is slated to become AmFirst’s 24th branch location overall. The 90-year-old credit union is scheduled to open its 23rd branch in Clanton by the end of  2026. 

Kevin Morris, President and CEO of AmFirst said:

“At AmFirst, we are deeply committed to growing within the communities we serve. Shelby County has been an essential part of AmFirst’s growth, and we are very excited to grow that area with a new location in Alabaster. This investment is a clear statement of our commitment to providing convenient, accessible financial services and to growing our footprint in one of Alabama’s fastest-growing communities.” 

Currently, there are no details on when AmFirst will break ground and open the new branch. Stay tuned to Bham Now for updates.
