Our local Hudson Valley roots stretch back to 1969
In 1969, teachers from the Wappingers Central school district decided to create an alternative to the banks they had been using. Desiring a financial institution that provided fair and equitable treatment, they successfully chartered the Wappingers Central Federal Credit on April 25, 1969, with the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
In March 1976, we began offering the benefits of credit union membership to the government workers of Dutchess County. With that expansion, our name changed to Taconic Educational and Governmental Federal Credit Union, or TEG Federal Credit Union as we’re known today.
Over the years, our field of membership has expanded to serve all who live, work, worship, or attend school in New York’s Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester Counties.
What We Stand For
Integrity
At our company, integrity is the cornerstone of everything we do. It means honoring our commitments, acting ethically, and treating everyone with fairness and compassion.
Professionalism
We are committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism in every interaction, ensuring trust, respect, and reliability.
Service Excellence
We are committed to delivering the best service with understanding and knowledge. We go the extra mile to empower our members to grow and thrive.
Cooperation
Loyal and dedicated, we achieve more when collaborating and working as a team to achieve common goals. When we come together, everyone grows.
Our Responsibility
At TEGFCU, we take our responsibility to our members seriously. We are dedicated to offering the financial solutions our members need, always with the personalized service they expect. With TEG, you gain access to the same wide range of products and services as big banks, but with the reassurance of dealing with a local, dedicated team that does things the right way and puts your best interests first.
Being there for our members is our top priority. That means you can count on us to be there for you through good and tough times. Our lending philosophy recognizes that everyone has a unique circumstance. We take the time to understand your story rather than relying only on your credit score. Even if we can’t help you immediately, we’ll provide a plan to help improve your financial situation ASAP.
