Have you heard about our associational membership offer for members of the American Consumer Council and the Alumni Association of Athens State University?
You no longer need to simply go to school, live, or work in the counties in our existing field of membership. If you’re a member of either of these associations, you’re eligible to join and start taking advantage of Listerhill’s exclusive members-only savings, products, and services.
Credit unions have advantages that some big banks can’t match. When exploring the benefits of a credit union, you’ll typically find lower interest rates for loans, lower fees and higher savings rates, and a variety of resources to put you on the path to financial success.
At Listerhill Credit Union, we believe in membership for life. Even if you retire, move away, or change employers, you have a lifetime membership.
As a not-for-profit that is cooperatively owned by you (our members), we all benefit when you engage and participate in credit union ownership. That’s why we are inviting you to attend our 2022 Annual Meeting. It’s an opportunity for you to meet your management, elected board, and many Listerhill employees who serve our membership. We will use this meeting to report on last year's performance and discuss future plans for Listerhill Credit Union.

Let’s take a closer look at credit, personal loans, and how you can use a personal loan to build credit.
Credit cards come in all shapes and sizes to suit every financial situation. Of course, everyone wants the most competitive interest rate but that's not the only factor to keep in mind when deciding which card is right for you.
You might want a low limit to build credit or a high limit to cover big purchases. You might want to earn cash back on purchases or earn points that you can redeem for rewards. Read on for simple ideas about what to look for in a credit card!
When starting a new life chapter, many people’s first instinct is to turn toward credit cards to cover the costs. But before you start swiping the plastic for everything, we recommend an alternative option that will help keep you within your budget. You may want to consider a personal loan to stay within your budget.
When you apply for a personal loan instead of racking up credit card debt, you are making a responsible choice that can positively impact your finances for years to come.
To help you accomplish this, we've outlined seven ways to responsibly use a personal loan to pay for different needs, wants, and goals.
