Union is pleased to announce the construction of a new Mars branch!

The new building will be located at the busy intersection of Rt. 228 and Myoma Rd. The target date for completion is December 2020.

As Butler County continues to grow, the new branch signifies the credit union’s 85-year commitment to serving the financial needs of the county’s residents. The new building will provide better service and convenience for our members who reside in the southern corridor of the county.

According to Randy Cypher, CEO, “the new Mars branch will position the credit union to achieve continued growth for generations to come.”

The Mars branch, formerly the Southern Butler County Community Credit Union, was acquired by Armco Credit Union in 2015. They were established in 1954 as Callery Credit Union to serve the employees of Callery Chemical and Mine Safety Appliances in Evans City.

Dawn Scott-Barill, the current manager of the Mars branch, was the CEO of Southern Butler County Community CU when the board and members elected to merge. They interviewed multiple credit unions before choosing Armco CU.

“Armco Credit Union was hands down the outstanding choice,” said Barill. “They demonstrated the same passion for member service and improving the financial life of our members that Southern Butler County Community Credit Union always held as a priority. They had a strong proven financial history and they also held their employees in high regard. Needless to say, we were impressed before we merged, and in the five years since the merger, they have lived up to our expectations.”
