CLANTON, AL— AmFirst has purchased property located at 2040 7th St S, Clanton, AL 35045, marking the credit union’s planned expansion into Chilton County. The new location will become AmFirst’s 23rd branch and its first in Chilton County.
The property, formerly a financial institution, covers approximately 3,000 square feet and will be renovated into a full-service AmFirst branch. Plans for the location include multiple office spaces, teller stations, a full-service drive-thru, and an ITM.
The Clanton location reflects AmFirst’s continued investment in expanding access to financial services across Alabama. Once open, the branch will offer individuals, families, and businesses in Clanton and the surrounding Chilton County area easy in-person access to AmFirst’s full range of financial products and services.
“While this is our first physical location, we already have an established base of members we serve,” said Kevin Morris, President and CEO of AmFirst. “Our brand is well known through personal and business relationships and sponsorships that have grown over time. This branch will expand our opportunities and help us continue building relationships with those who make Clanton and Chilton County such a special place. As AmFirst grows, we remain focused on being a trusted financial partner and an active member of every community we serve.”
AmFirst plans to begin renovations in the existing building immediately, with the new Clanton branch expected to open in late 2026. Additional details on construction and a future grand opening celebration will be announced as plans progress.
