A New Home in the Heart of Benson
795 W 4th St, Benson, AZ 85602
We’ve been proud members of the Benson community for decades. From our home on Seventh Street — where Doug Quarrel’s mural marked our place in the neighborhood — to today, our commitment to Benson has never changed. But you told us what you needed, and we listened.
You asked for easier access. More parking. A better drive-through experience. A location that works for your life, not the other way around. So we got to work.
We purchased the former medicine shop building at 795 W 4th Street and transformed it into a brand-new facility designed specifically for the needs of our Benson members. Modern technology, a spacious lobby, a streamlined drive-through, and plenty of parking — everything you asked for, all in one place.
What hasn’t changed is what matters most. Walk through our doors, and you’ll find the same friendly faces who have been serving this community for years. Same warmth. Same dedication. Same commitment to putting members first.
Benson has always been home. Now we finally have a home that does this community justice.
Where It All Began 
Before it was ours, 795 W 4th Street was a neighborhood staple — the old medicine shop that served Benson for years. When we saw the building, we saw potential. A prominent corner, easy access, and room to grow into something our members truly deserved.
Our Home on Seventh Street
For decades, our Seventh Street location was where Benson came to bank. It’s where relationships were built, loans were made, and community happened. Doug Quarrel‘s mural watched over it all. We’ll always be proud of what that branch meant to this town.
Built for What’s Next 
We took that familiar building on W 4th Street and reimagined it from the ground up. New layout. New technology. Better parking, better access, and a drive-through that finally works the way it should. The address is new. The commitment to Benson never changed.
More to Come
The story isn’t quite finished yet. The beloved Medicine Shoppe sign — a landmark that has watched over this corner of Benson for generations — is being carefully restored and reimagined as a nod to the neighborhood’s rich heritage. It’s a small detail that means a lot, and we think Benson will love what’s coming.
Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting — March 23, 2026
On March 23rd, we officially celebrated the Grand Opening of our new Benson branch with a ribbon cutting ceremony joined by members, community partners, the Benson Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Benson. The turnout was a testament to the strength of this community and the relationships we have built together over the decades. We are honored and humbled by your support as we open this next chapter of service to Cochise County.
Investing in Cochise County’s Future Leaders
In the spirit of giving back to the community that has supported us for 60 years, American Southwest Credit Union was proud to present the University South Foundation with a $15,000 donation — invested in the scholars and future leaders of Cochise County.
