What Our
Members
are Saying

"I have been a member at the credit union for over 30 years. Everyone there is beyond helpful and goes above and beyond. The staff are all amazing. From my everyday banking to when I have questions about certain things that I need to have done, I can always count on everyone there. Most recently with my mom passing away and not being sure what to do with her accounts and how to handle things properly everyone at the credit union walked me through what I needed to do. I cannot imagine every changing my banking institute to a "big bank"."

"I opened my Savings account at the credit union in 2000. Since then, my wife and I have refinanced our home (twice), secured loans for at least six cars, and continue to maintain their services while we move into our retirement years. The staff make every inquiry seem special and easy. Whether over the phone or when you walk into the lobby, they make you feel like family. TVTFCU = Total Value, Teamwork, Friendships, Caring and Understanding. Thanks so much for being there for us."

"The Tobacco Valley Teachers Federal Credit Union is a welcoming community that fosters support of all its members. My family has been members since 1984. We have received quality assistance no matter what our needs have been. My children are now also members of the credit union and have experienced the warm and friendly environment as well."

"TVTFCU is like Home! Everyone is Family! When you walk in everyone knows your name and banking is the second thing that has to happen. My children love to learn how to bank with all of the incentives that TVTFCU provides to teach them how important savings is for life. Thank you for all that you do for our family!"

"Why do I love the Tobacco Valley Teachers Federal Credit Union? The people of course! I walk through the front door and I feel like I'm home. Everyone is so happy to see me. They are so kind and helpful every time I’m there. I have NEVER been steered in the wrong direction with the advice I have taken from all of them! Thanks for always being there for me!!"

"Being a member of the credit union means paying almost no fees but still getting the services of a big corporate bank. I've been a member of the credit union for so many years that I signed the papers for my first car loan in the living room of the Cowles’ home on Frew Terrace in Enfield!! When I call the credit union I always get clear instructions and an answer to my question, and I can go into the office and actually meet with the person I spoke with on the phone!!

"I have been with the Tobacco Valley Teachers Credit Union for years now and would never go anyplace else. As a matter of fact, I have gotten my niece to sign up and am moving my parents' account also. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and more than willing to help you with anything you need. The rates are great and the personal service I receive is unmatched by any chain bank. They also have really good cookies on Fridays and coffee every day! You can't find a better place!"
