REXBURG − East Idaho Credit Union had their groundbreaking ceremony on  May 23 at their location for a brand new Rexburg Branch.

“This project has been many months in the making,” said Dan Thurman, president and CEO of East Idaho Credit Union, in a press release. “We’ll be closer to downtown, providing greater convenience for our members and the growing Rexburg community.”

The new location for the branch is 310 North Second East, north of the Pizza Pie Café.

“The 1.2 acre parcel, just north of Pizza Pie Café, will host the 2,500 square foot branch with drive-up ATM and two drive-up lanes,” according to a press release from EICU. “East Idaho Credit Union came to Rexburg in 1984, but the new location will allow for greater access to those downtown as well as the university area.”

According to the press release, this new branch will replace the current East Idaho office already existing in Rexburg.
