The History of America's Credit Unions
Trust Federal Credit Union is a community development credit union which exists: to provide the highest level of personal financial services to under banked and underserved communities; to encourage thrift, savings, and the wise use of credit; and to increase financial education and the ability of underserved households to maintain their financial well-being thus moving them to financial sustainability.
History
In 1934, employees of Provident Life & Accident wanting better banking services banded together to form Provident Employees Credit Union. Over the years, we have been known as UnumProvident Federal Credit Union, InTrust Federal Credit Union, and now as Trust FCU.
In 2012 and 2014, members of the Olan Mills Savings Association Credit Union and River City United Credit Union joined Trust FCU.
In 2015, we earned our Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) status. We have invested over $350 million in underserved communities with consumer and mortgage loans to members.
Today, Trust FCU has three branches, is a member of an over 5,000 branch shared branching network and is the only CDFI certified credit union in the Chattanooga Tennessee area.
