History
Arsenal Credit Union was founded in August 1948 as Aero Chart Credit Union, organized to serve employees of a U.S. government agency then known as the Aero Chart Service, Plant and Store (now the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, or NGA). The name changed to Arsenal Credit Union in 1952, a tribute to what NGA's current campus along the banks of the Mississippi River in south St. Louis used to be known as (the "St. Louis Arsenal") back in the country's Civil War days, when the site had warehoused small arms, artillery, gun carriages, ammunition and gunpowder.
