Kirtland Credit Union (KCU) proudly announces the opening of our new branch located within the exciting MaxQ@Kirtland development, a mixed-use project situated off Gibson Boulevard in partnership with Kirtland Air Force Base through an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL). The new Kirtland Credit Union branch occupies a one-level, 2,500 square-foot space, replacing the current branch at 6440 Gibson Blvd.

The ribbon cutting will take place on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at 4023 Ranger Road, SE, marking a significant milestone for both KCU, MaxQ@Kirtland and the local community. We look forward to welcoming local representatives, the new Kirtland Air Force Base leadership team, and several special guests from the business community.

Matt Rarden, President and CEO at Kirtland Credit Union, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We have been eagerly anticipating this moment, and it is incredibly exciting to be on the leading edge of something that is adding real momentum and energy to our community. MaxQ@Kirtland is helping reimagine the Gibson corridor into a vibrant destination—full of opportunity, innovation, and the kind of local growth and economic vitality that lifts everyone.”

Kirtland Credit Union collaborated with NewGround International, an industry leading design-build firm specializing in financial institution developments, for the design-build process. This move to the MaxQ@Kirtland location enhances our member’s experience, the security and functionality of KCU’s operations while also aligning with the credit union’s broader expansion strategy across New Mexico.
