TEG Federal Credit Union - History

History

When TEG FCU was founded in 1969, membership was limited to educators and government employees in the area, hence the bank's original name. Though initially denied, TEGCU eventually acquired a community charter in 2002, allowing anyone who lives, works, worships, attends school, or volunteers in Dutchess, Ulster, and Orange counties to join the credit union. TEG Federal provides an annual $1,000 scholarship to student members.
