Alabama Teachers Credit Union was organized in March 1959 with just two employees, and was located on the second floor of the Gadsden City Board of Education Building. Previously known as Etowah Teachers Credit Union, our original Select Employee Group (SEG) was only open to employees and family members of the Gadsden City and Etowah County School Systems. To embrace our field of membership and our strong name simultaneously, we recognized that teachers weren't just limited to educating in the traditional classroom setting, but that the act itself applied to each one of us. Therefore, in July of 2012, Alabama Teachers Credit Union introduced a new brand and image — we are all teachers — because we believe in being a student of life. It is by our brand that we celebrate every teaching moment in life and we understand that by learning together, we enhance not only ourselves, but also each other. The enthusiasm of our credit union, members, and community has led to a continued strengthening of our membership numbers, assets, and overall financial stability.
