Originally chartered in 1971 to serve employees of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, Essential Credit Union has grown into a community-chartered financial institution. As a not-for-profit cooperative, it is owned and operated by its members. Its mission is to provide quality financial services to the community, offering products such as checking and savings accounts, auto loans, mortgages, and personal loans, with profits returned to members in the form of lower loan rates and higher savings yields.
