New Year, Stronger Organization for Tennessee and Mississippi Credit Unions

The new year is often a signal of rebirth and renewal. It is about returning to what is essential—clarifying values, creating greater intention and refining focus.

For us, our rebirth is the start of a singular organization to serve Mississippi and Tennessee credit unions. We are excited to combine the best of both organizations to develop an even stronger organization that serves credit unions.

Here’s a quick merger Q&A.

Is the merger official?

Yes, the Tennessee Credit Union League and the Mississippi Credit Union Association officially became one organization on Jan. 1.

What’s the organization’s name?

We aren’t quite ready to let the cat out of the bag! We look forward to announcing our new brand later this spring. For now, we are the Tennessee and Mississippi Credit Union Association.

How can I contact association staff?

All staff email addresses and phone numbers remain the same.

How can I stay informed about association news and events?

Continue to access information through both the Tennessee Credit Union League and the Mississippi Credit Union Association websites. And follow along on Tennessee’s social media—Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X.

What are the benefits of a combined association?

The merger allows us to build a stronger organization for credit unions in both states. By combining 170+ credit unions under one roof, we gain the scale to do more—dedicated advocacy staff, expanded education at better prices, and deeper expertise in compliance and vendor partnerships.

Instead of spreading ourselves too thin, our team can specialize, which means delivering higher-quality service to you. And with a larger collective voice, we carry more weight in Washington, at the state capitols, and when negotiating with vendors.

The goal is simple: create a one-stop resource with the expertise and staying power to serve credit unions for the long haul.
