Who is able to get a loan from the Teachers Federal Credit Union?

Membership in Teachers Federal Credit Union (TFCU) is required to obtain a loan. Membership eligibility is not limited solely to teachers, despite the name. Generally, to join TFCU and become eligible for loans, you must meet *at least one* of the following criteria:

* Work for, or be retired from, a qualifying employer: This includes a wide range of organizations, not just schools. Check TFCU's website for their current list of eligible employers. This is often the broadest route to membership.

* Live, work, or worship in a specific geographic area: TFCU serves a defined region. If you reside, work, or attend a place of worship within that region, you might qualify. Again, check their website for the exact areas served.

* Be a family member of an existing member: If a family member already belongs to TFCU, you may be eligible to join based on that relationship.

In short, while the name suggests teachers only, the reality is that TFCU's membership is much broader, determined by employment, location, or family connection. You should visit the Teachers Federal Credit Union website for the most up-to-date and precise eligibility requirements.
