About:

UT Federal Credit Union was chartered on May 15, 1969, and headquartered in Knoxville, TN. UTFCU was founded on the philosophy that a credit union is a financial cooperative owned by members who share a common interest such as work, education or association. The heart of a credit union is its membership and as such seeks to encourage savings, provide members with access to lower cost loans and support the financial well being of its members. Today, UT Federal Credit Union has assets of over $161 million and more than 25,000 members. For more information visit online at http://www.utfcu.org
