Tuscaloosa, AL– November 22, 2021 – Alabama ONE Credit Union will open a new branch in Centre, Alabama, located at 500 Cedar Bluff Rd, Centre, AL 35960, on Monday, November 22, 2021. With this new branch, Alabama ONE will now have eighteen branches, a 28% increase from fourteen branches in May.
With the opening of the Centre Branch, Alabama ONE continues to expand its footprint across the state.

This branch is an opportunity to improve how we can serve our members effectively anywhere in the state.”
Alabama ONE continues to grow and expand its presence across the state this year, with the acquisition of First Bank of Linden in Linden, Alabama in May and its conversion in July; the opening of a branch in the Lake View community in September; a branch in the Alberta community of Tuscaloosa in October and the new Centre branch this month.
