Coosa Valley Credit Union to open Armuchee Branch this fall

Coosa Valley Credit Union has announced to open a new branch in Armuchee at 3040 Martha Berry Hwy, a former Regions Bank location. Ron Tomlinson, CEO and President of Coosa Valley says, "Recently, we placed an ATM in the Armurchee shopping village and were very pleased with the transaction volume it experienced. This confirmed the conclusion that there was a need existed for a full service presence in that area to serve our members better. We look forward to serving our current membership and hopefully new ones in the Armuchee area." The Branch is scheduled to open later this fall. CVCU already has branch locations in Rome, Cartersville and Cedartown.
