Our name, Emblem Credit Union, is a simple, clear way of communicating what we’re all about — a trusted financial institution that values and supports the unique potential in everyone we serve. Whether you’re a teacher, student, or technician, you’re welcome here and we’re honored to be your trusted emblem of financial wellbeing in Northeast Alabama.

Since our start in 1959, our focus has been providing the community with competitive rates and terms, excellent member service, resourceful financial tools, and the opportunity to learn from one another. Through the years, we’ve adapted to the needs of our communities, showing support and figuring out the ways we can be most impactful.

This year, 2024, is no different. Our new name, Emblem Credit Union, honors our educational roots while moving us into a future focused on empowering all people to achieve financial wellbeing. An emblem is a ‘mark of distinction’ and reflects our dedication to expanding our reach to serve more people across Alabama. Our solid reputation is a testament to our dedicated members of the past as well as our commitment to current and future members.

Centre Branch Manager, Bryan Dorsett, offered the following comments: “We are excited to serve the folks of Cherokee County as Emblem Credit Union. Our name has changed; however, our values, loyalty, and commitment to member service remain as steadfast as ever before. To be clear, we have not been sold, and have not merged with any other financial institution. We are very proud to be Cherokee County’s longest-standing credit union and look forward to continuing to forge financial relationships with our credit union members.”
