About Us

It is our mission to create opportunities in our community through service, education and access.

Credit unions exist to help people, not make a profit. Our goal is to serve all of our members well, including those of modest means – every member counts. Our members are fiercely loyal for this reason. They know their credit union will be there for them in bad times, as well as good. The same people-first philosophy causes credit unions and our employees to get involved in community charitable activities and worthwhile causes – just ask us.

We call it the “Credit Union Difference” because we’re a not-for-profit financial cooperative operating under the philosophy of people helping people. As federal laws and regulations on financial intuitions continue to change, credit unions remain an extremely popular financial alternative for over 100 million Americans.

Unlike most other financial institutions, credit unions do not issue stock or pay dividends to outside stockholders. Instead, earnings are returned to our members in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits, lower fees, and community support.

It’s easy to join TFCU and there are a lot of member benefits.

Our story began in 1937, serving the city’s teachers. Today, we are community chartered and can offer membership to almost anyone in Pima County.
