Tongass Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative. TFCU is nestled in remote Southern Southeast Alaska and based out of Ketchikan, often called "Alaska's First City." TFCU has four branches: Ketchikan, Klawock, Metlakatla, and Wrangell and four community Microsites: Thorne Bay, Hydaburg, Kake, and Hoonah. Each of our locations is only accessible by air or water because we do not have a connected road system through our islands. Here is a map of Southeast Alaska: http://bit.ly/2iaTuGM Our community microsites serve small villages and town with populations from 400 to 800! Our largest community is Ketchikan with a population of about 14,000 people. We take pride in our ability to be innovative and flexible to meet the needs of our small remote communities. TFCU was founded in 1963 by a group of teachers who were unable to receive loans from local banks because they did not have 'consistent' income due to the summer break. Soon after hospital and government employees were added to the Field of Membership. In 2001 TFCU became community chartered and can now provide services to those who live, work, worship, and attend school in southern Southeast Alaska.
