Jefferson Financial Federal Credit Union was founded in 1966 to serve employees of the Jefferson Parish Public School System and grew into Louisiana's third-largest credit union, with about 52,000 members and roughly $900 million in assets across the New Orleans metro area. In 2025-2026 it merged with Mississippi-based Keesler Federal Credit Union, forming a combined $5 billion institution.

Jefferson Financial got its start in 1966 helping Jefferson Parish school employees save and borrow together, growing into one of Louisiana's largest credit unions before joining forces with Keesler Federal Credit Union in a merger completed in 2026.
