Keesler Federal Credit Union is forgiving $1 million in credit card debt in a giveaway announced Thursday.

The giveaway is the largest in its history, where hundreds of members will receive up to $4,000 in credit card balance payoffs, with a total of $1 million applied directly to member balances. Selected balances, based on members’ February statements, will be paid down until the full $1 million has been awarded.

“At Keesler Federal, being member-owned means success is shared,” said James Hollingsworth, chairman of the Keesler Federal Board of Directors. “This program is about giving members a little more freedom — freedom from stress, freedom to focus on what matters most, and confidence that they’re on the right path.”

The drawing for the program will take place on March 6, with winners announced beginning the week of March 9.

In 2025, the credit union returned more than $6.8 million to members through rewards programs, drawings, and other member-focused initiatives.
