NRL Federal Credit Union in Alexandria, Virginia, is becoming Spectra Credit Union.
The $ 550 million-asset institution said in a press release Tuesday that it will make the name change effective Oct. 12.
“We sought a name that reflects the Naval Research Lab foundation while also projecting the inclusiveness that is at the core of our mission. The term Spectra does both. We have confidence that rebranding will help the credit union reach its full potential, ”Mary Kappus, NRL FCU chairperson, said in the press release.
The new Spectra brand emphasizes diversity, equity and inclusion, corporate social responsibility and a commitment to support the credit union’s local communities, the company said.
