Midcoast Federal Credit Union Opens New Location, Expands Service Area

Invites Public to Free Grand Opening Party July 23, 2016

 Freeport, ME, July 8, 2016 – Midcoast Federal Credit Union proudly announces the opening of its 5th branch and new corporate headquarters in Freeport, Maine. Now open for business, the Freeport building, located at 186 Lower Main St., houses the credit union’s newest branch, as well as central operations for the growing company.  The 8,400 sq. foot building stood vacant since it construction in 2006, making MCFCU a welcome new neighbor in the Freeport business community.
