Every year, I Love My Credit Union Day celebrates what makes credit unions different. Here are four reasons so many people choose a credit union and love being a Member.
You Come First
As a Member of Knoxville TVA Employees Credit Union™, you’re more than a customer. You’re an owner.
Because we’re not-for-profit, we reinvest earnings to benefit over 300,000 Members across Knox, Sevier, Blount, Roane, Loudon, Sullivan, Hamblen, and Jefferson counties, as well as Johnson City.
That means better services, competitive products, lower fees, and expanded access.
Decisions Stay Local
Decisions about the Credit Union are made locally, by people who live right here in East Tennessee.
We're your friends and neighbors. We shop in the same stores, cheer for the same sports teams, and care about the same communities you do.
That’s as true today as it was when we were founded in 1934. Back then, Members came together locally to help each other during the Great Depression.
That same spirit lives on today. Local decisions are still made by people who understand our communities and want what's best for East Tennessee, not by outside investors motivated by profit.
Your Deposits Are Safe
Your deposits are federally insured through the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), just like bank deposits are protected through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
We also protect your money through strong security, fraud monitoring, and sound financial management. Your money deserves a safe place to grow.
You’re Part of Something Bigger
As a Member, you’re part of a Credit Union that wants to make East Tennessee the best it can be.
Each year, we give more than 10,000 volunteer hours to local organizations, schools, and community events. We also support financial education and local partnerships that help families throughout our region.
It’s all part of our philosophy of Members Helping Members, People Helping People.
It’s here to stay. And it’s something to love.
