During my tenure, White Sands Federal Credit Union has helped our members move closer to achieving their financial hopes and dreams. I have been so blessed to have had the opportunity of working with so many wonderful members, staff, and volunteers. Thank you is not strong enough for the time I have had at the credit union.”

“The credit union is in great shape and the Board has appointed my long-time Executive Vice President Phillip Fifield as President and CEO. Mr. Fifield will do a great job and will continue to grow the credit union and provide outstanding service to our members. Thanks again and God Bless.”
