Community 1st Credit Union is opening a new branch facility in Knoxville this fall.

The branch will be located on Bell Avenue near Walmart. Knoxville will become the credit union’s 17th branch serving 15 towns in Iowa. Interim CEO Greg Hanshaw tells KNIA/KRLS News the credit union is pleased to bring the convenience of a Knoxville branch to members in the Marion County area. The new, 2,500-square-foot branch will be in a multiple-storefront building directly west of Walmart. Plans for the facility include five employees, a drive-up ATM and an Interactive Teller Machine. The credit union is headquartered in Ottumwa.
