Northeast Credit Union is now Lighthouse Credit Union.

We’re excited to announce the next phase of our journey to build a world-class, member-focused organization.

As we evolve, it is important that our brand evolves with us, so that it clearly represents our mission and core values. This new brand is meant to inspire our members, team members, and community partners to reimagine what banking can be. We believe our members will change the world, and we’re here to light the way.
