About Us

Joined by a common bond. . .

Membership in ElecTel Cooperative Credit Union is open to any member/consumer and their families of the 27 electric cooperatives in North Carolina.

Membership is also open to the employees, directors, and officers of the electric and telephone cooperatives in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

Family members - anyone related to you by blood, marriage, or adoption - are also eligible to join.

. . .Set apart from the rest!

Anyone can offer financial services, but credit union membership is truly a unique experience. Unlike banks, whose primary goal is to maximize profit for a select group of stockholders, credit unions are owned and governed by members. And everyone has an equal voice.

ElecTel CCU exists to serve your financial needs by offering a full range of affordable, easy to obtain services. Our "profits" are returned to you in the form of higher savings rates, lower loan rates, and fewer fees than you'll find at most other institutions.

"Once a member, Always a member"

Changing jobs or retiring from the cooperative? You don't have to leave the credit union - your membership is good for life! Be sure to take ElecTel CCU's convenient and affordable financial services with you wherever you go!
