Posted

Navigant Credit Union, the largest member-owned credit union in Rhode Island, has added a new member to its growing leadership team – including Cranston’s Carlos Vargas.

Vargas will serve as the Credit Union’s new Assistant Vice President for Community Development and joins Navigant Credit Union with more than a decade of experience in the financial services sector, most recently serving as a Relationship Manager and Lending Specialist at Bank of America.

In his new role at Navigant Credit Union, Vargas will be responsible for identifying and executing community outreach, financial education, and business development initiatives across Rhode Island, with a focus on traditionally underserved communities.

“As the state’s first-ever community credit union, we have long been committed to ensuring our products and services are accessible to all Rhode Islanders. This position aims to break down language, socioeconomic and other barriers in the communities we serve to ensure we are advancing our mission in an equitable fashion,” said Navigant Credit Union President/CEO Gary E. Furtado. “Carlos’s experience in the financial sector, combined with his commitment to helping others, makes him an ideal fit for this critical role. We welcome him to our growing team.”

A lifelong Rhode Islander, Carlos grew up in Providence and now resides in Cranston with his wife and three daughters, and is currently pursuing his B.A. in Organizational Leadership at Providence College.

Navigant, Vargas
