Credit union breaks ground on new DC-Edmond location

Communication Federal Credit Union, one of Oklahoma’s largest credit unions, broke ground on June 17, for a new location, to better serve the Deer Creek/Edmond market. The branch will be located at 16209 Ironstone Drive, near the southeast corner of Portland and NW 164th Street.

“We’re excited about the new branch in the Deer Creek area because the location we’ve chosen along Highway 74 will enable us to better serve the financial needs of our existing members and provide convenient services to reach more people in Deer Creek, Edmond, and Oklahoma City,” states Larry Shropshire, Communication Federal Credit Union President/CEO. “Communication Federal Credit Union prides itself on being a part of the neighborhoods where we have branches. Our business is taking care of people by going beyond just serving their financial needs,” says Shropshire.

The new branch location will feature a modern service-oriented design to assist with retail and digital banking needs, a multi-lane drive-thru, drive-up ATM and safe deposit boxes. Communication Federal expects the branch to be operational in the first quarter of 2026. The location serves the goal to upgrade member experience and provides more options for member interaction, as one of 22 current retail access points across Oklahoma and Kansas.

The architect for the project is The McKinney Partnership of Norman and the general contractor is MillerTippens Construction of Oklahoma City.
