It's time to RALLY!

NavyArmy is now Rally Credit Union.

A lot can change in nearly 70 years. We started out in 1955 as Naval Employees Corpus Christi Federal Credit Union (NECCFCU)—a name that said exactly who we served: the civil service employees of the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.

Now, it’s time for a name that clearly states who we serve today. One that speaks to the way we welcome everyone who lives, works, worships or goes to school in our communities—making up our 200,000+ military and non-military members.

 

We're excited to officially introduce ourselves as Rally Credit Union.

An Honorable Evolution

We may have a new name and look, but we’re not leaving our legacy in the past. The concept behind this logo is merging three elements: the ribbon—a tie to our military roots, the forward arrow—a nod to our former branding symbol, and the “R” from Rally.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Name Change

Current credit union law does not require a membership vote for a name change. However, the member-elected Board of Directors voted on and approved the new name. The Board is trusted by its members to make financially informed decisions for the success of the credit union.

For two years, our team planned and researched extensively to choose the right name. Efforts included focus groups and interviews with staff, members, non-members, military and non-military to guide us through the renaming process.

No, the credit union is in great financial health. The decision to change the name was made to let people know that being in the military is not a requirement for becoming a member.

We love our military, but we were not created for them or to be exclusive to them. Our love and respect for the military will remain as it always has, and the new name and branding will honor our legacy.

No, NavyArmy was not bought out and did not merge with another credit union. The NavyArmy Board of Directors, senior leadership, and staff made the decision to change the name.

While we loved our NavyArmy name, we learned that many people thought you had to be in the military to join. In addition, our credit union was often confused with Navy Federal Credit Union, which is military-only. We are deeply committed to the work we do here and believe the new name will make our services available to as many members as possible.

The name Rally says we’re all in. It represents the spirit of our credit union and what we’re most proud of: rallying behind members to help you achieve your financial goals. It’s positive, upbeat and a nod to our military past (think, “Rally the troops!”) And, most importantly: it welcomes everybody.

The name and some branding are the only things changing. That means you can expect branch signage, eStatements, debit cards, mobile apps, etc. to eventually be updated. But our mission, values and who we are at the heart of our credit union will stay the same.

Yes, you can continue using your NavyArmy checks until they run out. They will still work. 

Yes, debit cards will continue working and you will receive a new Rally Credit Union debit card when your current one expires.

No, the routing number will stay exactly the same-314978543
