In May 1979, a credit union was established at Doe Run Chemical Plant to serve the employees and their immediate family members. In the beginning, the credit union only offered savings accounts and loans but was able to serve their members well. In 2009, the credit union became a full-service financial institution with expanded services and products including checking accounts and debit cards. That same year, Doe Run Federal Credit Union moved into a new office and expanded its field of membership to include anyone who lives, works, or worships in Meade County.
