P1FCU to hold grand opening in Hayden

P1FCU will celebrate the grand opening of its new Hayden branch Wednesday with a ribbon-cutting at 11:45 a.m., followed by hot dogs, soda, treats and giveaways.

The Hayden branch is located at 200 W. Honeysuckle Ave.

P1FCU is a not-for-profit credit union, founded in 1938 in the Lewiston- Clarkston Valley. In 2005 the credit union added a location in Post Falls and in 2010 added a branch in the Hayden Walmart.

"The area has embraced our presence and with our growth it came time to expand to a larger facility," said a press release announcing the new Hayden location.

With the opening of the new branch comes the addition of new services available to members: a drive-through, night deposit, mortgage lending, business services and a drive-through ATM.

P1FCU also announced two new employees at the Hayden location.

Toby Flood has joined as a mortgage loan officer. Flood brings extensive experience in the field of real estate to P1FCU.

Tanis Fuller has been added as the credit union's "exclusive" North Idaho community relationship specialist. Fuller's primary role is to work with the credit union's community organizations and schools to ensure they succeed in their financial goals. Fuller will also assist members in achieving financial education so they too are able to reach their financial goals.

P1FCU is federally insured by the NCUA and serves 13 counties in North Idaho and eastern Washington. For more information visit p1fcu.org.
