Community

For over 50 years, Daviess County Teachers Federal Credit Union has been rooted deeply in the community. Members of our community formed our credit union, members of our community operate our credit union, and members of our community, you, own our credit union. We are committed to Daviess County and its surrounding regions with a focus on helping people and we love to give back.

Supporting Our Schools and Non-Profits

We were born out of the commitment of teachers so our dedication to local schools and passion for the next generation has been instilled in our beliefs from day one. We proudly support our local schools and their organizations in a variety of ways as well as provide free financial literacy curriculum to the community. In addition to this, we believe in the power our local community organizations and non-profits possess to better the area we serve. We proudly partner with and donate to several local charities and causes as well.
