Tampa Postal Federal Credit Union Selects CBI to Design and Build New Prototype Branch

June 30th, 2025

Originally chartered in 1941, the Credit Union served the financial needs of USPS employees and their family members in over 37 Florida counties. As membership continued to expand over the years throughout the state, the Credit Union dropped “District” from its name to become Tampa Postal Federal Credit Union. In 2003, Tampa Postal FCU expanded its charter to include Select Employee Groups. These are local companies close to a branch location that wish to offer the benefits of credit union membership to their employees. Tampa Postal FCU continues to live by its founding purpose – to help its members achieve their financial goals in both the good and challenging times.

In collaborating with Consultants and Builders, the new Tampa Postal FCU branch will utilize an efficient layout and circulation, office meeting space, durable furnishings, fresh marketing, visual displays, and easily accessible ATM. The exterior design of this 1,700 square foot, free-standing branch will incorporate design elements in keeping with the Fort Myers Urban Center District to maximize visibility and marketing opportunities. The efficient design lowers construction cost, while the addition of advanced technology maximizes operational efficiency and return on investment.

Consultants and Builders, Inc., a design-build firm founded 39 years ago solely focusing on the development of financial institutions, is proud to be working with Tampa Postal FCU. It is our shared goal to aid the financial market in propelling our client’s organizations forward regarding safety, growth, and technology integration.
