CSE Proudly Celebrates 75 Years of Service CSE Federal Credit Union proudly celebrates 75 years of service in Southwest Louisiana. Over the past 75 years, many things have changed, but one thing that has remained is the consistency and value of our service to members and to our community. On December 7, 1943, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, in accordance with the Federal Credit Union Act, granted our charter. Just like most beginnings, ours was small. At the first official board meeting on January 6, 1944, a loan limit of $100 and a maximum share limit of $500 was established.
The idea of a financial cooperative began to spread and soon the credit union was the place to save and to obtain a loan. Fast forward to 2019— CSE now has over 30,000 members and offers a wide range of consumer loans with competitive rates and terms! Throughout the last 75 years CSE Lenders have exemplified the “People Helping People” philosophy through their products and services. During the Gulf War in 1991 the credit union suspended interest on all loans to members in the military who were called to active duty. This
philosophy continued in 2019 when CSE took action to assist members affected by the government shutdown by offering helpful programs through loan solutions. After 75 years of service, CSE is happy to help its members and service residents in Jefferson, Cameron and Calcasieu Parish. As we celebrate the year of our diamond anniversary, CSE will continue to shine brightly as it has for the last 75 years.
