In 1937, Richard S. Reynolds traveled to Europe in search of aluminum sources for his company, Reynolds Metals. When he returned, Reynolds shared with Congress stories about the arsenal Adolf Hitler was building in Germany.
U.S. Sen. Lister Hill, of Alabama, listened, and the two persuaded Congress it was in the best interest of the nation to begin producing military airplanes. The local Reynolds plant was created along with a new community, aptly named Listerhill, and supplied the nation with airplanes during World War II from 1942-45. After the war, the plant started producing Reynold's aluminum foil and has long been a key employer in the Shoals.
In 1952, ten years after the aluminum plant opened, seven Reynolds Metals employees came together to combat the growing issue of predatory lending to other vulnerable plant workers. At the time, loan sharks would lend money with outrageous interest rates and sometimes never-ending terms. With just $5 each and a passionate idea of creating a cooperative that benefited and protected each other, these seven men founded Listerhill Credit Union.
Operation of the credit union humbly began inside the Reynolds Metals plant in 1953. Shortly thereafter, Listerhill Credit Union would build its headquarters across the street where its main office currently resides.
Mr. Cyril B. Mann was co-founder and elected chairman of Listerhill Credit Union's Board of Directors for more than 57 years, recognized by the World Council of Credit Unions as the longest-serving board chairman in credit union history. In 2012, Mr. Mann was posthumously inducted into the Credit Union House Hall of Leaders. His selfless devotion to Listerhill and dedication to the credit union philosophy of people helping people continues to be an inspiration to everyone who shares in the mission.
Over the next several decades, Listerhill would grow to expand its service footprint by working with more employer groups and adding value to its expanding membership. This also meant the credit union was opening branches across northwest Alabama and serving thousands of new members while offering new and innovative products and services.
Today, at $1 billion in assets, Listerhill Credit Union is the seventh largest credit union in Alabama serving 100,000 members across two states. Our comprehensive offering of financial services prepare members for every stage of life.
