FORT BRAGG, N.C.–Along with the base it was chartered to serve, Fort Bragg FCU is changing its name to Fort Liberty FCU.
The military installation is changing its name to Fort Liberty as part of a nationwide effort to remove Confederate iconology from places of honor in the United States. It was originally named for Confederate General Braxton Bragg.
The credit union’s name change will be effective July 1.
“We are fortunate to have the opportunity to include ‘Liberty’ in our new name. The Fort Bragg name has served us very well over the last 63 years since our credit union was chartered in April of 1960 as the Fort Bragg Military Credit Union,” said FBFCU President and CEO Todd Kenthac. “The Fort Liberty name will allow us to continue to recognize and honor our history while communicating our continued financial strength and stability in the communities we serve.”
The $573-million Fort Bragg FCU has close to 40,000 members and a field of membership open to residents of Cumberland, Moore, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Robeson, and Scotland counties in North Carolina.
