Apple Federal Credit Union’s newest location will open its doors in Chantilly (3519-B Centreville Road) — the company's 17th branch in Northern Virginia. This third quarter debut now puts Apple three-quarters of the way to achieving its organizational goal of four new branches in 12 months.
Apple’s Chantilly branch offers a full range of financial products and services, including:
* Cash services;
* A 24-hour walk-up ATM;
* Extended Saturday hours;
Many of Apple’s branches provide financial education support for Credit Union affiliated schools in their area. The Chantilly location will provide such support for Chantilly High School’s Student-Run Credit Union branch. Apple’s Student-Run Credit Union program provides students with real world financial literacy and the opportunity to explore future employment prospects, while developing an understanding of money, both conceptually and in practice. Branch staff who visit these schools help to provide practical knowledge and support for the students and faculty administering the program.
Chantilly’s hours of operation are Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Wednesday, 10:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-7 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Apple’s fourth and final 2008 branch is Kingstowne (6831 Sir Viceroy Drive, next to Kohl’s) in Alexandria.
