Listerhill Credit Union is a nonprofit financial cooperative improving lives in our community.
If you live in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, or Tennessee, you are eligible to become a member. Depending on your individual eligibility, we may require membership into an approved association at no cost to you.
You can also qualify for membership by being a family member of a current or potential Listerhill member.
With only $5, you can join Listerhill today and start taking advantage of a lifetime membership.
Listerhill was founded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 1952 to combat the growing issue of predatory lending practices to vulnerable plant workers of Reynolds Metals. Nearly 70 years later, Listerhill continues its mission of improving lives in communities by offering comprehensive financial products, employing sound lending practices, and promoting financial wellness. As a full-service financial cooperative with eighteen local branches, speedy online applications, a versatile mobile app, state-of-the-art Smart ATMs, and a nationwide shared branching network, Listerhill currently serves thousands members across the country.
One of our newest community initiatives includes providing new shoes to elementary school children through a program called Kicks for Kids, funded through the Listerhill Foundation. Because many children throughout Tennessee and Alabama face poverty and a lack of proper shoes, Kicks for Kids provides a “step up” to improve behavior, learning, and confidence through a pair of name-brand athletic shoes (and five pairs of socks) given to every child in the school. In 2021 alone, Listerhill has provided nearly 1,600 pairs of shoes to four area elementary schools in north Alabama.
Partnerships succeed as a result of sharing common values and striving together toward common goals. Athens State University, with the help of local partners like Listerhill Credit Union, will continue to advance the best interests of its students and the State of Alabama toward academic and professional excellence.
Athens State Alumni Association and Listerhill are partnered to provide access to Listerhill’s financial products and services for anyone outside Listerhill’s traditional field of membership (northwest Alabama and south central Tennessee). This partnership not only extends to growing common membership and engagement, but also seeks to add value to each relationship.
We partnered with Athens State to provide $25,000 for the University’s Reading and Literacy Lab. This partnership contribution will allow for the purchase and provision of a smart board, books, software, games, journals, assessment tools, technology, and site visits so the Lab can better prepare pre-service teachers for the classroom.
Athens State and Listerhill are currently working together to provide even more free financial literacy courses to complement what the University offers to students and staff members for personal development. These course offerings will be online and in-person to accommodate the schedules and preferences of students and faculty.
We have taken our efforts to benefit the Athens community further with the opening of a new branch! Students and staff, alongside our community, can now take full advantage of member services in person!
Because Listerhill also serves the Athens and Limestone County (Alabama) communities, Listerhill has recently partnered with Athens State in several ways. This includes providing $25,000 for the University’s Reading and Literacy Lab, partnering with the Athens State Alumni Association to provide access to Listerhill’s financial products and services for anyone outside Listerhill’s traditional field of membership, and providing even more free financial literacy courses to complement what the University offers to students and staff members for personal development.
At Listerhill, our focus is on “people helping people.” Whether you are looking to purchase your forever home, find your next car for that commute, or open a checking account to manage your everyday finances, we can offer you the support you need from beginning to end.
As a nonprofit cooperative owned and operated by its members, you own an equal “share” in Listerhill and vote in elections for the Board of Directors and Supervisory Committee. That means your voice is always heard, and in turn, our actions reflect your needs and desires.
Yes there is! We just opened our Athens Flagship branch in June 2022. Come visit us!

If a member has accounts in credit union A and credit union B, and credit union A merges into credit union B, accounts of credit union A continue to be insured separately from the share deposits of credit union B for six months after the date of the merger or, in the case of a share certificate, the earliest maturity date after the six-month period. In the case of a share certificate that matures within the six-month grace period that is renewed at the same dollar amount, either with or without accrued dividends having been added to the principal amount, and for the same term as the original share certificate, the separate insurance applies to the renewed share certificate until the first maturity date after the six-month period. A share certificate that matures within the six-month grace period that is renewed on any other basis, or that is not renewed, is separately insured only until the end of the six-month grace period.
The NCUA would either transfer the insured member's account to another federally insured credit union or give the federally insured member a check equal to their insured account balance. This includes the principal and posted dividends through the date of the credit union's liquidation, up to the insurance limit.
Federal law requires the NCUA to make payments of insured accounts "as soon as possible" upon the failure of a federally insured credit union. While every credit union failure is unique, there are standard policies and procedures that the NCUA follows in making share insurance payments. Historically, insured funds are available to members within just a few days after the closure of an insured credit union.
Members who have uninsured shares may recover a portion of their uninsured shares, but there is no guarantee that they will recover any more than the insured amount. The amount of uninsured shares they may receive, if any, is based on the recovery of the failed credit union's assets. Depending on the quality and value of these assets, it may take several years to conclude recovery on all the assets. As recoveries are made, uninsured account holders may receive periodic payments on their uninsured shares claim.
If a liquidated credit union is acquired by another federally insured credit union, all direct deposits, including Social Security checks or paychecks delivered electronically, will be automatically deposited into your account at the assuming credit union. If the NCUA cannot find an acquirer for the liquidated credit union, the NCUA will advise members to make new arrangements.
