Celebrating 40 Years

On January 17, 2008, RTP Federal Credit Union turned 40. As this milestone approached, I looked back through the years at our many accomplishments as I celebrate the past and look forward to the future.

Born on January 17, 1968, to EPA and NIEHS employees, RTP Federal Credit Union was operated from a desk located within EPA. As the credit union grew, it wasn’t long before we hired more employees and moved into our first permanent office on Alston Avenue. It wasn’t until 1987 that we expanded further and moved to a location on Slater Road that would house us for 20 years – while also opening branch locations in North Raleigh and Cary. Even though our Slater Road location was home to our main branch for many years, we relocated into a new branch at 21 Park Drive on Highway 54 in RTP on November 19, 2007.

From adding branches, to employee and member growth, to high-tech technology, RTP Federal Credit Union has seen many changes over four decades. However, no matter how much the financial industry changes with the times, one thing at RTP Federal Credit Union remains the same – our core values remain intact – providing superior, personalized service to our members. We begin work each day knowing our members are our top priority and number one asset.

We are proud to be where we are in the financial industry and excited for the future. No matter where the next 40 years take us, we will remain committed to you, our member. Whether you joined the credit union 40 years ago or today, thank you for 40 great years, and we look forward to 40 more!
