About Liberty Federal Credit Union

Our history
Rooted in educators. Built for members.
Liberty Federal Credit Union has proudly served its members and communities since 1936. Founded in Evansville, Indiana, the organization began as Evansville Teachers Federal Credit Union, created by local educators who came together to pool resources and provide affordable financial services to one another. What started as a small, member-driven cooperative operating out of school classrooms steadily grew over the decades into a full-service financial institution serving a broader membership base.
As membership expanded beyond the education sector and across southern Indiana, western Kentucky, and the greater Tennessee region, the credit union continued to evolve while remaining firmly rooted in its cooperative values. In 2022, the organization officially rebranded as Liberty Federal Credit Union to better reflect its inclusive membership, expanding geographic footprint, and commitment to financial freedom for all members, while still honoring its educator-founded roots.
Despite its growth, Liberty remains member-owned and member-focused—returning value through competitive rates, low fees, innovative products, and strong community investment.
