Peach State Federal Credit Union recently awarded CBI a tenant build-out project for a new, 1,700 sf branch which will be located in Oconee County.  Included in the branch will be two intelligent ATMs as well as two dialog towers.  “We have served this community since 2009, and know that a brick and mortar location in this area will make banking for these members more convenient. We envision this to be a ‘branch of the future’, featuring member service and business development representatives rather than a traditional teller line. Representatives will assist members in finding the products and services they need for their individual financial needs,” said Marshall Boutwell, President/CEO, Peach State FCU.

CBI is able to handle small and large remodels across a geographic area simultaneously and provides full project management services while using local subcontractors.

Peach State Federal Credit Union has partnered with Central Gwinnett High School to put one of their branch locations within the school. The credit union celebrated the branch opening today with a ribbon cutting ceremony.  The branch currently has seven student interns who operate the location with a branch manager. Students, teachers, and other staff members can make deposits, withdrawals, and use the ATM during their operating hours. The student interns have also developed a plan to educate all advisement classes on the differences between a credit union and bank, smart money management skills, and future career opportunities at Peach State Federal Credit Union. CBI was proud to partner with the credit union to design and build the branch.
