Dear Members,Our credit union was founded by scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory. Those founders still inspire us to search for better, faster, stronger solutions to empower your financial well-being. That will never change.But over the past 75 years, our community has changed. And we, like all businesses, must adapt to ensure we are here to serve our members for generations to come.That is why, after several years of research and input from our members, volunteers, employees, and community, we have decided to change our name to reflect the diverse community in which we serve.As of October 12, 2021, NRL Federal Credit Union will be known as… 
Please remember that a name change is just that - a name change. We are not being acquired by or merging with another organization. We are the same member-owned, federally chartered credit union you originally joined, with the same dedicated staff that has served your financial needs.
• NRLFCU branded debit cards, credit cards, and checks will continue to work. No changes are necessary.
• Member account numbers will remain the same.
• Direct deposits will continue to work. The credit union’s routing number (ABA) is not changing.
• Online and mobile banking log-in credentials will not change.
• The current nrlfcu.org website will continue to work and we will automatically reroute you to our new website address.
To celebrate our new brand, we are also opening a new, conveniently located, full-service branch to serve you in the Shops at Mark Center in Alexandria, VA. This branch will replace the current Alexandria office located on the second floor of our headquarters building. More details about the new branch are coming soon.
Over the next several weeks, each of our branch locations will undergo minor renovations to reflect our new brand. These renovations may cause some in-branch service interruptions. However, we will communicate all expected member impact information to you via email, our website, and on social media.
Our mission is to help our entire community reach their full financial potential, that is why we chose a name to represent people from across the spectrum of our community. We are excited about our new brand identity and we look forward to a bright future of serving our members and community as Spectra Credit Union for many years to come.

Kristin D. Shultz President / CEO NRL Federal Credit Union
