History
Originally created in 1935 under the name Albuquerque U.S. Employees Federal Credit Union, the institution primarily served federal workers within New Mexico. The organization adopted the name U.S. New Mexico Federal Credit Union in 1990 to signify its expanded membership eligibility.
In early 2015, following a merger with New Mexico Correctional Employees Federal Credit Union earlier that year, the credit union rebranded itself as U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union. Later that same year, in December 2015, U.S. Eagle acquired the signage rights for Albuquerque Plaza, boosting its brand prominence throughout the area.
