Heart of Louisiana Credit Union was organized in 1955. Its original field of membership consisted of employees of the United States Department of Agriculture working in Louisiana under the supervision of the USDA offices in Alexandria and Pineville. This constituted an “occupational” common bond. Since that time the credit union has taken in additional groups. Most of these groups, though not all affiliated with the original group or one another, also are individual employee groups and fall into the occupational common bond category. Those Member Groups are listed in the table under the Member Groups link.
In 2005, the credit union gained “underserved status” allowing for an additional field of membership of anyone who lives, works, worships, attends school in, and businesses and other legal entities located in the Greater Alexandria Underserved Area comprised of the following parishes: Rapides, Winn, Allen, Natchitoches, Evangeline, Concordia, Catahoula, LaSalle, Avoyelles, Grant.
