Honolulu-based Aloha Pacific Federal Credit Union has expanded to Maui, beginning with a temporary branch that opened Feb. 6 in advance of a permanent branch in the Puunene Shopping Center later this year.

The temporary branch is at 137 Kalepa Place in Kahului. The Maui team includes Lili Ramelb, branch manager; Kerilyn Oshiro, branch supervisor; Kelsey Chin, member relations officer; and Roselyn Mondejar, member relations specialist.

This is the second neighbor island branch for Aloha Pacific, which recently merged on Kauai with Kekaha FCU. It is now known as Kekaha Credit Union and is a division of Aloha Pacific FCU. Aloha Pacific also has a branch in Henderson, Nev.
