I have always been treated with the utmost courtesy and kindness at this branch. Service was excellent. I never imagined that a simple request to make a deposit in my checking and savings, and to obtain a debit card could be handled so easily and quickly. They even made my card for me right there! Keep up the good work and thank you so much!

Y-12 FCU Gives Foundation

We give back to the communities we serve in a variety of ways with our Y-12 FCU Gives Foundation.

On July 17, 2017, Y-12 Federal Credit Union formed Y-12 FCU Gives Foundation, which was founded to extend the credit union's mission of "people helping people" into the philanthropic realm of charitable giving and support.

The mission of the foundation is to reduce the number of undernourished children in the communities we serve by providing them food, knowledge and resources.
