October 15, 2009  –  When the new Army Human Resources Center of Excellence opens on Fort Knox next year, Fort Knox Federal Credit Union will be there to serve the more than 3,000 civil service and military workers in the complex.  This will be the third Fort Knox Federal branch on post.  The Credit Union is also the only financial institution with offices both on and off post.

The Credit Union won the right to provide onsite financial services at the HRC Complex after a call for proposals, a thorough review of capabilities and selection process conducted by the Fort Knox Garrison Command.  “We will have a full-service branch right there in the Winters Dining Facility that will cater to HRC workers and others on post,” according to Fort Knox Federal President and CEO, Bill Rissel.  “We are extremely pleased to continue and expand our presence on post and to serve the thousands of new HRC employees,” he added.

Fort Knox Federal has been on post since its founding in 1950 and has growth from a single office operation to 12 branches throughout central Kentucky, more than 70,000 members worldwide and over $810 million in assets.  “Fort Knox Federal has the size and financial strength to provide any financial service required and now we’ll have the convenience and personal touch to help anyone at HRC,” Rissel said.

The new HRC Branch will be full-service offering teller transactions along with two member service representatives who can assist members with real estate lending, auto loans, certificates of deposit, IRAs and all other Credit Union services.   The planned 900 square-foot office will be next to the main seating area in the dining facility.
