Listerhill Credit Union

Listerhill Credit Union is a nonprofit financial cooperative improving lives in our community. In 1952, seven Reynolds Metals employees came together to combat the growing issue of predatory lending to other vulnerable plant workers. At the time, loan sharks would lend money with outrageous interest rates and sometimes never-ending terms. With just $5 each and a passionate idea of creating a cooperative that benefited and protected each other, these seven men founded Listerhill Credit Union. Today, with its Main Office located across the street from that same plant, Listerhill Credit Union serves over 90,000 members in 13 counties with 17 branches across northwest Alabama and south central Tennessee. Named one of Alabama's Best Credit Unions by Forbes magazine, Listerhill continues its commitment in serving the local community with integrity while striving for excellence and innovation.
