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.
