On Feb. 19, AERO Financial officially broke ground on a new headquarters in the P83 District of Peoria. The three-story, 24,644 square-foot facility represents a significant growth milestone and investment in the credit union’s future.

“Breaking ground on our new headquarters is a proud moment for AERO Financial, representing our growth, our success, and our belief in the future we are building together,” said Mike Moyes, President and CEO. “Expanding our footprint in Peoria will allow us to continue scaling our operations to support our members, and I have never been more confident in what we can accomplish for our community.”

This expansion follows a period of momentum, including recent recognition as the #1 fastest-growing residential real estate lender in the Valley by the Phoenix Business Journal. Located in a highly visible, accessible corridor near Loop 101, the new headquarters provides the necessary infrastructure to expand financial services across the Valley and beyond.

Once completed in Spring 2027, the facility will debut a modern branch on the first floor with a drive-through lane, combining convenient access with the personalized service that members have relied on for over 60 years.
