AS11894 SERVICE-CREDIT-UNION-11894

SERVICE-CREDIT-UNION-11894 is exactly what it says: the enterprise AS of Service

Credit Union, a New Hampshire member-owned financial institution headquartered in

Portsmouth. Founded in 1957 as the Portsmouth Air Force Base Credit Union, it

serves military members, veterans and Department of Defense employees, with

branches in New England and on US bases in Germany.

What it's used for

Financial-institution connectivity. RIS sees one prefix, 205.220.254.0/23 (512

addresses), no IPv6, and a single observed neighbour. A /23 behind one upstream

with no downstream customers is an end site, and for a credit union the

externally-reachable surface is the obvious one: online and mobile banking, card

and payment processing links, and branch-to-core connectivity. Nothing here hosts

third parties.

Notable

• The prefix is registered in ARIN to Service Credit Union itself, matching the AS holder. Self-registered space announced by its own registrant is the strongest routine evidence that an operator is real and its space is not leased in.
• The military connection is membership eligibility and branch location, not network ownership. This is a civilian, NCUA-regulated financial institution and should never be filed as government or military infrastructure. That trap is a recurring shape in this AS range: defence-flavoured handles that resolve to credit unions serving military communities rather than to defence networks.
• No reverse DNS was returned on the addresses sampled. That is a sample, and nothing is inferred from it.
