After posting near-record asset growth in three of the last four years, Fort Knox Federal Credit Union, Radcliff, Ky., is now the largest Kentucky-based CU with more than $1 billion in assets, the credit union announced last week.

Bill Rissel, Fort Knox Federal president/CEO, said, "We've achieved not only asset growth but very strong returns on those assets. Today, Fort Knox Federal is stronger than ever financially as well as the largest Kentucky-based credit union. This benefits our members by providing them a completely safe and secure place to grow their savings and a stable lender to provide for all their borrowing needs."

"We keep savings rates as high as reasonably possible in this economy, and we've opened new markets for loans to reinvest those deposits and keep loan rates to members as low as possible," he added.
