Keesler Federal CEO Celebrates Decade of Growth
Andy Swoger, President and CEO of Keesler Federal Credit Union, has completed his tenth year in leadership, marking significant growth for the credit union. During this period, assets increased from $2.3 billion to $5.3 billion, membership doubled to over 394,000 members, and net income rose from $24 million annually to more than $49 million last year. Swoger attributes Keesler Federal's success to a collaborative culture and strong board support, which has led to high member satisfaction scores. The credit union expanded its branch network significantly, including into New Orleans, and secured major sports sponsorships with teams like the Biloxi Shuckers and LSU Athletics. This year also saw Keesler Federal complete the largest merger in Louisiana and Mississippi history. Keesler Federal was recognized as one of the best credit unions by Forbes and Newsweek for 2026, continuing its streak of national recognition since Swoger's tenure began.
