Carolinas Telco FCU Expands Membership

CHARLOTTE, N.C.–Carolinas Telco Federal Credit Union recently expanded its membership charter to include all employees and retirees in the telecommunications industry in North and South Carolina, the $304-million CU said. Carolinas Telco FCU originally opened in 1934, offering membership to employees of the local telephone companies, which at the time only included Southern Bell, AT&T, and Western Electric. Until 2006, the credit union continued to serve these companies, through their various name changes and reincarnations. With the approval of NCUA, Carolinas Telco has converted to a Trade, Industry, and Profession charter, allowing Carolinas Telco to again serve the entire telecommunications industry in North Carolina and South Carolina.
