Recognized for its statewide outreach, Local Government Federal Credit Union has been ranked among the top 30 businesses in North Carolina.

Business Leader Media, business-to-business media and information company, ranked the $919 million credit union the 26th top small business leader out of 284 entries.

Local Government FCU was highlighted for the launch of LGFCU Financial Partners LLC, a CUSO that made $14.5 million in loans in 2008. The credit union also committed $50 million to purchase North Carolina municipal bonds to keep state infrastructure moving forward. Business Leader Media also recognized the credit union's mortgage assistance and scholarship programs and the introduction of a Visa debit card that donates 50% of the merchant's transaction fee from every purchase to the N.C. Association of Rescue & Emergency Medical Services.
