‘We were chartered in 1956. And we stayed.”
“We began operating as the Department of Hospitals Credit Union almost 70 years ago, serving Louisiana charity hospitals, mental health centers and state office personnel. We were located in downtown Baton Rouge then … we moved into our corporate campus on O’Neal Lane in 2020. Since we changed our name in 1988 and expanded our field of membership, we have grown into the largest state-chartered credit union in Louisiana, serving over 80,000 members nationwide.”
‘We’ve stayed true to our mission: Focus on community.’
“As leaders, it is important that we make decisions based on what is right and take care of people along the way. We sincerely believe that we are making a positive difference in the lives of our communities and members. Our employees are the spark that fuels our success. We invest in our team and uplift them so they can uplift our members and also establish a robust succession plan. We rise by lifting others.”
‘We’re embracing technology while staying true to our roots.’
“Our challenge is a technological one and a human one, which is: How do we do what we’ve always done well, and still adapt to a world where people are doing so many things differently? You can do business with us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no human interaction if you choose, the same as any major bank. But if you want to call us, or walk into a branch and talk to us, there is a Pelican State Credit Union employee available to you.”
OUR LEGACY: “The lives we touched, we changed for the better.”
