Meet the Manager

Welcome to AmeriCU!

I’m Melinda Rios, the Financial Center Manager at AmeriCU’s Griffiss location. I joined AmeriCU in the fall of 2022, bringing with me over 20 years of experience in the financial industry. My career began in the student loan sector, and I later spent several years as a small business owner—experiences that have shaped my approach to helping members achieve financial success.
I’m passionate about building relationships and providing personalized support to help you reach your financial goals. Whether you’re just starting out or planning your next big step, I’m here to help. So don’t be a stranger—stop by anytime! I’d love to meet you and see what we can accomplish together.
When I’m not at the financial center, you’ll likely find me spending time with my family, traveling, or relaxing by the backyard fire pit. Let’s connect!
