We are dedicated to your financial well-being.

How It All Began

Our Credit Union is built on the belief that financial services can be provided economically, without sacrificing service or quality, and that every member is significant. In July of 1978, that mindset motivated a handful of New Orleans Public Service, Inc. (NOPSI) employees to pool their resources and charter NOPSI Credit Union with the State of Louisiana.

Through the years, our sponsor company grew and merged with other utility entities, and its employee base expanded. Our Board of Directors strategically aligned our Credit Union to follow the company, now Entergy, and serve all employees systemwide. 

Becoming RiverLand

In 1990, we changed our name from NOPSI to RiverLand Credit Union to better reflect the wide range of members we serve. Plus, our name has added meaning - a river is a powerful resource, it connects communities, and it provides rich soil to support life on the surrounding land. Similarly, we support our members by connecting them to powerful financial services that enhance their lives.

While the economic environment continues to challenge smaller credit unions, we have remained solid and continued steady growth. In 2014, our membership voted to convert to a federal charter and we became RiverLand Federal Credit Union.  We have also merged with three credit unions over the years to provide their members with enhanced benefits: U.S. Veterans Administration FCU (2015), CANNO Employees FCU (2018), and Terminal FCU (2022).

As our loyal members transition to other jobs, they continue to request that their employers add credit union membership to their benefits. Now, we proudly serve 60+ Select Employer Groups and 16,000+ RiverLand members.

Why We Exist

Through it all, we have not lost sight of the reason for our existence: our members' financial well-being. Our commitment to you has not changed since we were first chartered. We exist to provide powerful and affordable financial products, so you can worry less about your finances and focus more on what matters most.
