About TFCU
TFCU is a member-owned
financial service cooperative. We were chartered in 1939. We currently
have approximately 18,000 members, over $150 million in assets,
3 branches, and over 60 employees. Originally named the Civil
Aeronautics Federal Credit Union, over the years the Credit Union
expanded its field of membership to include many government agencies,
businesses, and associations.
You own your Credit Union and as an owner, each year you elect
your Board of Directors .
The Board of Directors set policy, including dividends and interest
rates. As a member, you're encouraged to serve on committees and
run for elected office. With no outside shareholders, only members
benefit from TFCU earnings through full financial services, competitive
savings, and economical loans.
