Can 8 people and $40 really make a difference?
In 1959, they did. Eight individuals at Camp Lejeune pooled their modest savings to start something new—a financial partnership built on the simple idea that people should look out for one another.
They didn’t just start a credit union; they started a commitment to match the loyalty of the members they served. Over 60 years later, that $40 has grown into a multi-state support system, but our purpose remains the same: We are here for you for the long haul.
