Congratulations Mr. Ken Reddic

The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is the highest recognition the state of North Carolina can award one of its citizens.

This is an extremely rare honor that few receive.

On behalf of Governor Roy Cooper, Marine FCU Chairman of the Board Chuck Collins awarded Ken Reddic this recognition for his 40+ years of service to Onslow County and the rural counties of Eastern North Carolina on November 12.

He was a teacher, coach, principal, and administrator within Onslow County Schools. He also spent many years developing curriculum for the poorer counties in the eastern part of our state. And, he spent six years on the Onslow County Board of Education, serving as its chairman for the past three.

Ken currently serves on the Board of Directors for Marine FCU

Marine Federal Hits Asset Milestone

Jacksonville, North Carolina – Marine Federal Credit Union came into existence on April 20, 1959, when eight gentlemen made the request to become a federal credit union that would serve the Military, Department of Defense employees, and their families aboard Marine Corp Base Camp Lejeune. On April 24, 1959, the request was approved by the Bureau of Federal Credit Unions.

The first official office/branch was located in a warehouse aboard Camp Lejeune. It was heated by a pot-bellied stove and secured by a chicken wire fence. Sixty-five years later, on Monday, October 15, over 250 past and present employees, military and government dignitaries, our suite of volunteers serving on the Board, and our Supervisory Committee gathered to celebrate the milestone of surpassing a billion dollars in assets.

“It took us 65 years to parlay $40 into $1,000,000,000 dollars at the end of August,” said Chuck Collins, Marine FCU’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Collins recognized the Board Volunteers and Executive Teams, past and present, who helped achieve this success.

Tips to Avoid Fraud This Holiday Season

With the holiday season in full swing, scammers are more dedicated than ever to steal valuable consumer data. It is crucial for consumers to stay alert and report any potentially fraudulent activity to their Financial Institution in a timely manner.

• Avoid clicking on any unknown links received via text message or email
• Never login to Online Banking through a link that you’ve received from an unknown sender
• If someone contacts you and asks that you to provide them with your Online Banking credentials, cease communication right away and contact Marine FCU directly
• If you receive correspondence claiming to be from Marine FCU that is reporting an unusual transaction on your debit/credit card, contact Marine FCU directly
• Marine FCU will never ask members to provide their debit/credit card expiration date or CVV code to “verify” transactions
• Use caution when using your debit/credit card at places like gas stations or ATMs, as they are often used to place skimming devices – do not insert/swipe your card if you believe the keypad has been tampered with
• Avoid responding to social media posts or emails that advertise seasonal work as a “secret shopper”, particularly if immediate payment for the work is guaranteed – many scammers use this tactic to obtain sensitive consumer data
• Marine FCU will never ask members to purchase gift cards from various merchants

Always contact Marine FCU directly if you believe you have been subjected to any type of fraudulent activity.
