FAA Credit Union announced that it will change its name to True Sky Credit Union.
The $581 million CU based in Oklahoma City, said the new name was "inspired" by the organization's aviation roots, and that a "refreshed identity" will better position it for "continued growth" throughout the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.
"Our new name and look are the result of significant thought on who we are as an institution and where we want to be in the future," said president and CEO Steve Rasmussen in a statement. "We are immensely proud of our history with the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] and are grateful for the continued support of our many members who work there."
Rasmussen noted that in recent years the credit union's membership has grown to include not just FAA employees, "but also people from all walks of life,"
Originally established in 1946 to serve employees at the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) – which later came to be known as the FAA -- the credit union expanded in 2001 to include members from the surrounding community.
"The True Sky name is representative of the commitment to loyalty, balance and growth that has shaped our credit union for so many years. We're honored to serve such a great community and look forward to continued growth," said Board Chair Jessie McMullen.
