Creating Value Since 1952.

For nearly 70 years, Listerhill has been leading the credit union movement in northwest Alabama, creating value to its members and improving lives throughout the community. Listerhill is uniquely positioned for growth and success as it approaches today's challenges and tomorrow's opportunities.

Listerhill Credit Union is a nonprofit financial cooperative improving lives in our community.

Listerhill Credit Union is a nonprofit cooperative owned and operated by its members. This is what distinguishes a credit union from other financial institutions. Members put their money in a variety of savings accounts, and that money, in turn, is lent to members. After operating expenses and reserve requirements are met, income is returned to all members in the form of dividends, better rates, and comprehensive financial services.

Our Vision

To value people over profit, work passionately, exceed expectations, proactively seek improvement, and make our community a better place.

Black and White Planes
1937
Before Listerhill Credit Union

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.

People Helping People

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.

A History of Strong Leadership

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.
