Hughes History
Hughes Federal Credit Union was formed in 1952 in Tucson, Arizona to serve the financial needs of Hughes Aircraft Company (now Raytheon Missiles & Defense) employees and their families.
In 1992, we merged with Arizona Transportation Credit Union, which served Union Pacific Railroad employees and more than 400 other select employee groups in Phoenix and Tucson.
In 2001, the National Credit Union Administration approved Hughes Federal Credit Union to serve the underserved community in Tucson providing membership eligibility to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Tucson.
In 2020, we merged with APC Employees Federal Credit Union, which served Arizona Portland Cement and Cal Portland employees and their families in Arizona.
Today, Hughes Federal Credit Union serves more than 183,000 members and has more than $2.3 billion in assets.
The Credit Union Difference
Committed to the National Credit Union philosophy of “People Helping People” and “Not for Profit, Not for Charity, But for Service,” Hughes always strives to connect the right products and services to each member, focusing on their
best interest not ours.
Credit unions are different than banks – we exist to serve our members. Instead of paying stockholders, we return our profits to members through higher savings rates, lower loan rates, interest-earning checking, and fewer and lower fees.
Safety and Soundness
As a federal credit union, we are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a federal government agency. Your savings are insured up to $250,000 by the NCUA. IRAs are insured separately up to $250,000. To learn more, visit our Share Insurance Coverage Overview page.
The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) is administered by the NCUA for the purpose of providing deposit insurance to protect deposits of credit union members at insured institutions in the United States.
Board of Directors & Supervisory Committee
Board members volunteer to serve a three-year term and play an active role in governing the credit union at a higher level while working with management to develop solutions that align with the credit union's mission, values, and guiding principles.
