Century’s Only Financial Institution Has Now Closed
December 2, 2021
The Pen Air Federal Credit Union branch in Century has closed, leaving Century without a financial institution.
The lobby of the Pen Air location closed permanently this week. “Pen Air LIVE” interactive video ATMs will remain open.
“Thank you for letting us be a part of your community all these years. We look forward to serving your banking needs, today and for many more years to come,” Pen Air Century Branch Manager Angie White said in an email to members last month.
“I hate they are closing,” Sandra McMurray-Jackson recently told NorthEscambia.com. She is a longtime Pen Air member, a Century business owner and member of the Century Town Council. She joined Pen Air in the late 1990s with her late husband, with both of her sons becoming members as they grew older.
“I consider Pen Air to be part of my family,” Jackson said. “We need Pen Air in Century.”
In their email to members, Pen Air said banking behavior has changed, with a dramatic shift in the past year. The credit union said an “overwhelming majority” of members now use online banking, a mobile app and other digital services when possible.

Why would a bank or credit union be in Century? There is no money there.
The decision was made based on the “last” year! Last year the public saw closed signs, we prefer you to use our online services, this was done here and all around. People that want to work now have to make hard decisions! Letting go of experienced workers and the public is getting what we are paying for- nothing!
@ big al
No Rasheed can’t find another in Century.
But he can find several closer than pen air.
Including a credit union in Atmore.
Leadership at Pen Air doesn’t care about it’s Century members or employees… sad!
Rasheed……you won’t find a “new bank” in Century. All the others left years ago.
Time to find a new bank.
BRICK&MOTAR $ TO KEEP OPEN NOT THERE . AT LEAST KEEP-N ATM WITH LIVE PERSON TO HELP !
Bye Felicia.
