METAIRIE, La. — The oldest credit union in Louisiana is marking its 100th anniversary.
Post Office Employees’ Credit Union (POECU) has announced a number of activities to mark its centennial birthday. Post offices were among the first employers to charter credit unions across the country in the early part of the 20th century.
“Since its formation in 1924 by the Employees of the United States Postal Service in New Orleans, POECU has been a pillar of financial stability, commitment, and community support, fostering a legacy of trust and excellence,” POECU said in a statement. “The credit union has evolved with the financial landscape while remaining steadfast in its mission to empower members with personalized service, competitive products, and a strong sense of community.”
The $49.5-million credit union said it has throughout its history “consistently demonstrated resilience and adaptability.”
‘Immensely Grateful’
“As we celebrate 100 years of service, we reflect on the strong foundation that has shaped our credit union. We are immensely grateful to our members, employees, and the communities we serve for their trust and support,” President/CEO Michelle Duhe said in a statement. “We celebrate this success with our 4500+ members and look forward to leaving a greater financial footprint in the years to come.”
To commemorate this milestone, POECU said it has planned multiple events and initiatives occurring throughout the year, including monthly events and its Annual Meeting and Centennial Celebration on May 15.
POECU has approximately 4,500 members.
