Eagle One FCU and SERVCO FCU, Philadelphia, celebrated the grand opening of their new joint branch office in the Rhawnhurst section. Members were treated to refreshments, snacks and a chance to enter a raffle for prizes. The branch is the first for SERVCO and the fifth for Eagle One. Eagle One has $45 million in assets and serves postal employees in the Philadelphia District, as well as the communities of Fishtown in Philadelphia and Claymont, Del. SERVCO, which originally served employees of the old Gulf Oil Corp., has less than $3 million in assets and now serves a varied membership base in the Philadelphia area. The new branch office features three teller windows and back offices for administrative staff and loan officers.

In return, SERVCO will share the expenses of the office with Eagle One, thereby reducing the burden of operating the branch independently.
