Carter Credit Union will dedicate their Coushatta branch on Friday. The dedication will honor Gary Elliott, the founder of the first credit union in Coushatta.
Elliot graduated from Northwestern State University and later served in the Army National Guard for 6 years out of the Shreveport unit. He spent the next 27 years working as a comptroller at Sunbeam Corporation in Coushatta and founded CDSC Credit Union for employees. Upon the plant closing, he applied for a federal charter to form a permanent and very successful credit union for the community. He served as CEO of CDSC Federal Credit Union for 22 years and then merged with Carter Federal Credit Union, working until retirement in October 2022.
The dedication is open to the public.
Carter Credit Union is pleased to be part of Coushatta and continues the legacy of providing full service for all members at every branch. A significant advantage of being a Carter Credit Union customer is being a shareholder and participant in the Credit Union Service Center Network. Carter now serves people from coast to coast and offers every product and service local banks offer and more. These services include business lending, commercial deposit services, and our Free Auto Buying Consultant service for anyone in the market for a new auto.
