The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) proudly welcomes Space Coast Credit Union (SCCU) as its newest active member.
Established in 1951 as Patrick Air Force Base Credit Union with just seven founding members and $372 in assets, SCCU has grown into Florida’s third-largest credit union. With nearly $9 billion in assets and a membership base exceeding 685,000, the credit union now operates 66 branches across 34 counties along Florida’s east coast—from Flagler to Miami-Dade.
“Our foundation in military service is more than history, it’s part of our identity,” said Interim President/CEO of Space Coast Credit Union, Shane Hoyle. “Becoming part of DCUC strengthens our commitment to those who have served by expanding our ability to advocate for military and veteran members. It also creates powerful opportunities to collaborate with mission- driven institutions just as dedicated to service and community impact.”
Anthony Hernandez, DCUC President/CEO, gave a warm welcome to Space Coast CU, stating, “Space Coast Credit Union brings a remarkable history of growth, service, and dedication to its members. Their commitment to financial well-being and community strength can be seen clearly through their efforts and service, and we’re excited to have them rejoin our defense credit union family.”
DCUC continues to expand its national presence by uniting credit unions that support military members, veterans, and their families. Through strategic collaboration and targeted advocacy, DCUC and its member credit unions work to improve financial access, promote readiness, and build economic resilience within the defense community.
