RADCLIFF, Ky. – Fort Knox Federal Credit Union is celebrating a new milestone: it has exceeded 100,000 members.
The credit union, which is the largest Kentucky-based credit union, was founded in 1950 by 10 charter members and was originally named Fort Knox Civilian Employees Federal Credit Union. Over the years, the credit union expanded to serve both military and civilian personnel and the name was changed to Fort Knox Federal Credit Union in 1960.
“We’ve come a long way from where we started,” says Marvin Hawk, Chair of Fort Knox FCU. “I’ve had the privilege of serving as a volunteer for over 40 years now and the growth has been tremendous, but our core values and mission to serve has never changed.
“Everything we do is for the benefit of our members and community,” said Ray Springsteen, CEO of Fort Knox Federal Credit Union. “When we help even a single member improve their financial life, there’s a ripple effect. We’re strengthening their family and, as word spreads, our entire North Central Kentucky community.”
The credit union noted it has been recognized multiple times in recent years for offering some of the best loan and savings rates in the country to its members.
