WASHINGTON, DC (June 24, 2026) |
The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) is pleased to announce Navy Federal Credit Union (Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story) and Keys Federal Credit Union (Naval Air Station Key West) have been selected by the Department of the Navy as the 2025 Navy Distinguished Credit Union of the Year. All submissions from banks and credit unions were received and carefully reviewed by the United States Navy Installations Command, Department of the U.S. Navy, for consideration.
“We are proud to congratulate both Navy Federal and Keys Federal Credit Union on being named Navy Credit Union of the Year,” said Anthony Hernandez, DCUC President/CEO, Ret. U.S. Air Force Colonel. “This well-deserved recognition reflects their unwavering commitment to serving Navy personnel, military families, and their communities with excellence.”
Annually, the Office of the United States Navy Installations Command recognizes the on-base financial institutions (bank and credit union) that provided exceptional service to our Navy community during the preceding calendar year. These awards are based on recommendations submitted by installation Commanders. Nominations for credit unions will be accepted in two separate sub-categories: those institutions with total assets of $1B and above and those with less than $1B.
