Check out the new rates and features on our share certificates, available for a limited time.  Call or visit any location for details.  

We will host an open house at the newly renovated West Point branch on Thursday, October 12th, from 8:30am until 4:00pm.  A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 11:00am.  We would love to see you there!

At TFCU, we are always looking for ways to meet the needs of our members.  In an effort to do just that, we have added a new storm shelter loan. 

If you own your home and would like to install a storm shelter on your property, call or visit any TFCU location to find out how we may be able to help you.

In addition to sending payments to businesses, you can now send funds to another person via direct deposit, text, email or check using the Bill Pay option found in online and mobile banking.  You can also use this tool to transfer money to your own account at another financial institution.  Move your money quickly and conveniently, using your preferred method.  If you need help with Bill Pay while you're logged in, simply use the Start a Conversation feature on the dashboard to chat with a TFCU member service representative.  It's like having your own personal TFCU branch, right at your finger tips!    

Do you need a car, truck or SUV, but you lack the credit history, employment history or co-borrower often required to finance the purchase of your first auto?  Call 662-434-6052, visit any LOCATION or apply ONLINE to find out if our First Time Auto Loan* is the solution for you.

Please be aware that TFCU will not call you to request personal information.  If you receive a call from someone claiming to be a TFCU employee, do not provide personal information including your social security number, date of birth, debit card number, CVV number, etc.  Even if caller ID displays a TFCU number, do not provide the caller with any personal information.  Technology has made it possible for criminals to "spoof" any phone number, making it look as though you are receiving a phone call from a known person or business.  Remember, TFCU will not call you to request personal information.  If you receive a call that seems suspicious, end that call immediately and contact us directly at 662-434-6052 or visit any location to tell us about the call you received.

When speaking to you by phone, we may ask a series of security questions that are intended to confirm the identity of the person with whom we are speaking.  Just as a criminal might impersonate a TFCU employee when they call you, they may also impersonate a TFCU member when they call us.  Protecting your personal and financial information is our top priority.  We encourage members to provide us with a secret password or passcode as an additional way to verify identity.        

If you ever have questions or concerns regarding phone calls, emails, or any other communication related to your business with TFCU, please call us at 662-434-6052 or visit your nearest branch.
