About Us

Established in 1936 as Tennessee Telco Credit Union and later becoming Southeast Financial to better reflect the diverse composition of our membership, Southeast Financial is one of the largest credit unions in the state of Tennessee. We have more than 60,000 members in several states, with an estimated potential membership of over 1,350,000. Our membership base includes employees of BellSouth, employees of the state of Tennessee, and more than 200 other select employee groups.

Southeast Financial assets total over $415 million. We are state chartered and federally insured through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. We have been rated a five star credit union by Bauer Financial Services, a highly regarded financial rating service, for 12 consecutive periods. We have the 5th largest MEMBERS Financial Services program in the country for investments/annuities.

Southeast Financial Credit Union has 17 branch locations, including branches in Athens, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Goodlettsville, LaVergne and Jackson, two locations in Brentwood, two in Franklin, two in Memphis, and four locations in Nashville. Outside the state of Tennessee, we have branches in Corinth, Mississippi, and Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Each branch is fully staffed and able to provide all of our products and services, including loans, deposit accounts, investments and insurance. In addition to these branches, our Member Services Call Center and Loan Call Center are equipped to offer these services to members by telephone. Our website serves as a 24-hour branch for members wishing to pay bills online, transfer funds within their accounts, order checks or gift cards, or apply for consumer, home equity, and mortgage loans.
