Red River Employees Federal Credit Union, based in Texarkana, has officially joined DCUC’s ranks, bringing its impressive reach and military community focus to the organization.
Here’s what makes this partnership worth paying attention to: RRCU isn’t exactly a small-town operation anymore. What started as a credit union serving employees at the Red River Army Depot has grown into a financial powerhouse with more than 124,200 members and $1.624 billion in assets. The credit union now employs over 350 people across its service area, all focused on delivering solid financial products and services to their communities.
“Red River Credit Union is proud to join DCUC and strengthen our connection to the defense credit union community,” says Bradley Bailey, RRCU’s President and CEO. “Our mission has always been to serve our members with excellence, and this partnership allows us to further support those who serve and their families.”
That mission alignment is exactly what caught DCUC’s attention. The credit union offers a full lineup of lending, deposit, and financial services—everything you’d expect from a premier financial partner committed to its members’ success.
Anthony Hernandez, President and CEO of DCUC, didn’t mince words about the match: “We are excited to welcome Red River Credit Union to DCUC. Their strong commitment to member service and deep community roots aligns closely with DCUC’s mission to support credit unions’ service to all communities in need. We look forward to having them join our network of leading institutions and supporting their mission.”
