FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Del Norte Credit Union Expands with New Rio Rancho Branch 

Rio Rancho, NM — October 16, 2025 — Del Norte Credit Union (DNCU) is excited to announce the upcoming opening of its newest branch, the Southern Financial Center, located at 2518 Southern Blvd. SE in Rio Rancho. The branch is expected to open in early 2026. 

“We’re excited to grow our presence in Rio Rancho,” said John Molenda, President and CEO. “At DNCU, our mission is to improve lives and serve our members with care and purpose. This expansion allows more people to experience the DNCU Difference.” 

Del Norte Credit Union’s deep commitment to New Mexico communities continues to drive meaningful change across the state. In September, DNCU partnered with the Española YMCA Teen Center to raffle a 1967 Chevy Impala at the Centennial Celebration, raising $100,000 to support youth programs and local initiatives. It’s a powerful example of how we invest in the people and places that make New Mexico thrive—from Los Alamos to Rio Rancho and beyond. 

“Our growth is rooted in service,” said Deb Salazar, Chief Experience Officer. “Opening a new branch in Rio Rancho means expanding access to financial tools and support for even more members. We’re authentically New Mexico—dedicated to uplifting communities across the state, and this is just the beginning of what we plan to accomplish.”
