Your Community Credit Union
All our services, rates, and fees are designed to benefit the members, not a group of investors. Instead of up-selling services to give out a bigger dividend at the end of the year, we manage costs year-round. Telco Plus offers a wide variety of products and free services, including the latest technology to make your life easier. Our accounts are federally insured for up to $250,000 through the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. government agency.

Telco Plus Credit Union was started as East Texas Telco Credit Union on June 26, 1951. It was started as a state-chartered credit union out of the garage of a Longview home. The credit union served employees of Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Longview. The credit union grew through mergers and members referring their friends and family until it relocated from the garage to its current location. A second branch opened in Tyler in 1996. In June of 2023 the the third location and second in Tyler will be opening. In 1997, the board changed the name of the credit union to Telco Plus Credit Union to better reflect the expanded membership base.
