History
Leaders Credit Union got its start in Jackson, Tennessee back in 1957 under the name Jackson-Madison County Teachers Credit Union. Its mission was to provide area teachers with a convenient way to save and borrow money.
In 1996, JMCTCU had expanded its membership to include not only education but also healthcare and communications, and we needed a name to reflect the changes so our name was changed to Leaders Credit Union to show our dedication to community leaders from our field of membership.
Today, we are over 70,000 members strong and have over $850 million in assets – and we continue to serve our communities with the comprehensive products and services they need to build their financial strength.
