As of Friday, August 2, Prince George’s Community Federal Credit Union expects to finalize its merger with Greenbelt Federal Credit Union.

Renovation of the Historic Greenbelt branch began on June 22; the renovation was expected to be completed by late July. The Historic Greenbelt branch was closed on Wednesday, July 31 and Thursday, August 1 for system conversions.

Beginning Friday, August 2, customers can expect to see the same familiar staff, but with new branch hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Additionally, credit union patrons will have access to more branch locations in Beltsville, Bowie and Largo.

The current Greenbelt Federal Credit Union website remained active until Monday, July 29, and will automatically re-route to the Prince George’s Community Federal Credit Union website.

This article is summarized from a press release from Prince George’s Community Federal Credit Union.
