Our History
Del Norte Credit Union’s story is one of significant growth and success — founded in 1954 as Los Alamos Scientific Lab Credit Union and serving as the first financial institution in Los Alamos, the organization became a community charter in 1981 and expanded financial services and offerings to surrounding communities.
Following a successful merger in 1998, the financial institution became Del Norte Credit Union in April, 1999 and now serves more than 50,000 members throughout New Mexico with a robust suite of financial services and a dedication to outstanding customer service.
Del Norte Credit Union remains a New Mexico financial mainstay with a proven track record of success, growth and a commitment to improving lives in our community.
