Since our founding in 1938, RMLEFCU has been dedicated to meeting the needs of our members. Over the decades, we’ve remained true to this mission while growing stronger, expanding our services, and embracing innovative technology to provide secure and convenient banking options.
As part of our ongoing commitment to those who serve and strengthen our communities, we expanded our charter to include other public service professions. This allows us to extend our mission to even more individuals who go above and beyond for others. Our goal has always been to help our members and their families achieve financial success, and we are proud to make this possible for even more members.
Today, we are thrilled to share a decision that will shape the next chapter of our legacy and allow us to serve even more Coloradans. We will soon introduce a new name and brand—one that reflects our history, our mission, and most importantly, our membership. The new name will be announced on March 31st, and you will be among the first to see the name as well as our plans for the future.
This decision is the result of years of strategic planning aimed at positioning the credit union for long-term success. The new name and brand will enable us to grow sustainably, appeal to a broader audience, and continue delivering exceptional service to all of our members.
We want to assure you that this name change is not the result of a buyout or merger. RMLEFCU remains financially strong, secure, and independent. The services you rely on will remain unchanged, and our dedicated staff will continue to provide the personal service you’ve come to expect. Most importantly, you will remain a valued member and owner of the credit union.
If you have any questions or concerns about this upcoming change, please review the FAQ page under the “About” tab at www.rmlefcu.org, visit a branch, or call us at 303-458-6660.
Thank you for your trust and support as we embark on this exciting new chapter together.
Sincerely,
Christine Wiley
President & CEO

Helpful information about this upcoming change:
Q: Why are you changing the name?
A: We know that our current name is not only lengthy but also leads to confusion about eligibility, resulting in an obstacle for some in joining our credit union. The Board of Directors made a unanimous decision to change the credit union’s name in order to lessen membership eligibility confusion and welcome more members into our unique credit union.
Q: Is the name change a result of a merger or acquisition?
A: No. The name change is not the product of a merger or an acquisition with another financial institution. Our organization is financially strong and secure, and we will continue to be owned by you, our members, just as we are today.
Q: When will the name change take effect?
A: We will officially change our name in April 2025.
Q: How did you select the new name?
A: We spent many months working with a team of board members and management under the guidance of an experienced and respected branding firm. We expect to announce the new name in April 2025.
Q: What will change with the new name?
A: There will be no impact to your existing relationship with us, or any changes to your day-to-day banking. You will see changes to our exterior signage, brochures, stationery and website beginning April 2025.
Q: Will the ownership of the credit union remain the same?
A: Yes. The credit union will remain 100% owned by you, our members.

A: No, your member number, account numbers, usernames, and passwords will remain the same.
Q: If I have automatic payments taken from my account or receive direct deposit, will I need to do anything?
A: No. Everything will stay the same. Our routing number 302075283 will not change, and your account number(s) will remain the same. You do not need to take any steps to update automatic payments or direct deposits that are already established.
Q: How will fees, loan rates and deposit rates be impacted by the name change?
A: The rates and fees at our credit union will not be affected by the name change. We will continue to monitor our rates and fees as always to ensure high value and return to our members. While rates and fees do fluctuate, this is in response to market conditions.

A. Yes. Deposit accounts for each share owner remain federally insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.
Q: Will my debit and/or credit card still work?
A: Yes. Your existing active credit card and/or debit card and current PIN will continue to work as it does today. After the name change, as your credit and/or debit cards expire, you will be issued a new card. All cards re-issued after the name change will have the new name.
Q: Will I still be able to use my checks?
A: Yes. You can continue using your existing checks until they run out. When it’s time for reorder, you will see the credit union’s new name and logo on your checks.
