Credit Union History
On January 13, 1953, a small nucleus of people affiliated with the Hobbs Municipal Schools joined together in an effort to build upon a dream.   This dream was initially a concept whereby the establishment of a credit union would afford its members an opportunity to accumulate their savings and create a source of credit for provident and productive purposes.

This dream was realized when the Director of the Bureau of Federal Credit Unions executed and signed into existence a certificate and charter, officially acknowledging the Hobbs Municipal Schools Federal Credit Union as an institution in good standing, being designed to promote savings and credit to its membership.

Since 1953, the Credit Union has experienced changes, which would be anticipated in a regulated financial environment.  Those changes have been associated with growth, development, and confidence of a member-owned financial institution, offering the membership a wide range of financial products and services. 

On January 1, 2001, the Credit Union entered into another phase of its development.  Taking on the new name of Lea Community Federal Credit Union, the Credit Union is now able to serve all residents who live, work, worship, or go to school in Lea County.
