Kirtland Credit Union Unveils New Branch at MaxQ@Kirtland

Kirtland Credit Union (KCU) is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its latest branch, a significant step in the union's ongoing effort to enhance community services and local banking access. Located in the vibrant MaxQ@Kirtland development, this new branch is a result of a partnership with Kirtland Air Force Base, made possible through an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL). The launch ceremony is set for July 15, 2025, at 4023 Ranger Road, SE, and promises to attract local leaders, Air Force representatives, and business community members.

The new KCU branch spans 2,500 square feet and is designed to replace the existing location at 6440 Gibson Blvd. This initiative not only contributes to the modernization of banking services but also aims to redefine the Gibson corridor into a hub of opportunity and growth for the local area.

Matt Rarden, President and CEO of Kirtland Credit Union, expressed his excitement: "We have been eagerly anticipating this moment. It is incredibly exciting to be on the leading edge of something that adds real momentum and energy to our community. MaxQ@Kirtland is transforming the Gibson corridor into a dynamic destination rich with opportunities, innovation, and local growth."

In collaboration with NewGround International, a leading design-build firm known for its expertise in financial institution projects, KCU ensured that the new branch meets both functional needs and high security standards. This strategic move aligns with KCU's broader expansion strategy across New Mexico, aiming to better serve its 52,000+ members and enhance their overall banking experience. The credit union prides itself on empowering individuals through innovative financial solutions, having established itself as a trusted partner in the community since 1958.

The opening of the KCU branch is more than just a banking facility; it represents a commitment to the city's growth and the overall well-being of its residents. With over $1 billion in assets, KCU has a notable track record of supporting local initiatives, establishing lasting relationships, and contributing to the economic vitality of the region.

In the words of Rarden, the launch signifies a pivotal moment not only for KCU but also for the community: "With our new branch, we're committed to making a real impact in the area. This development signals our dedication to supporting local families and businesses as they thrive."

As KCU prepares for this momentous occasion, all eyes will be on the ribbon-cutting event, showcasing a bright future for the union and the residents it serves. The collaboration for MaxQ@Kirtland symbolizes a promising era of growth and opportunity, and Kirtland Credit Union is proud to lead the way.
