Eastern Financial Florida CU Expands Biz Offerings

MIRAMAR, Fla. – Employee benefit services are the latest addition to Eastern Financial Florida Credit Union’s business services division. The $1.8 billion CU has partnered with Private Professional to offer its small and mid-sized business members access to outsourced benefits and services through The Business Advantage Program. Using pre-tax dollars, businesses can have access to pay for employee benefits and services such as payroll services, payroll tax deposits and filings; risk management and workers compensation; basic long-term disability income replacement; basic group term life; administration of 401k; and group medical coverage, dental and vision care. EFFCU is also an SBA lender. “We began offering commercial services because a number of our individual members who owned businesses were asking us to,” said Gary Lanier, EFFCU senior vice president of sales. “Now, through our partnership with Private Professional, we are able to take our commercial offerings to the next level. It’s another example of how we as a credit union make improving the financial health of members our number one priority.”
