MTC Federal Credit Union

What MTC Federal Credit Union does

MTC Federal Credit Union is a federally chartered, member-owned cooperative financial institution headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, serving more than 16,000 members across South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Alabama, with approximately $300 million in assets as of 2026. Founded in 1976 as a small employee-based credit union, the institution operates a full retail banking platform including high-yield and cash-back checking (5% APY / 5% cash back), high-yield savings (4% APY), share savings, money market, share certificates, IRAs, mortgage and home equity products, vehicle and personal loans, and a Platinum Mastercard credit card. Distribution is multi-channel: physical branches across three states, 24/7 Tele-Branch telephone banking, digital banking (web and native iOS/Android apps with biometric login and Apple Watch support), a CU@Work workplace banking program for employer-sponsored acquisition, and access to 30,000+ surcharge-free ATMs.

The credit union's technology stack centers on the November 2024 "Next Level Banking" Digital Banking Platform, which integrates the Credit Savvy credit management module (weekly credit score updates, report insights, score simulator, identity monitoring), the Savings Jar goal-based savings tool, and multi-factor authentication with real-time alerts. Revenue is generated through net interest income on the lending book (the primary economic engine for a credit union), interchange on Mastercard debit and credit card transactions, deposit account fees, overdraft protection, wire transfer charges, ATM network reimbursements, and ancillary services such as insurance and member perks. Rates are publicly disclosed and vary by underwriting and qualification tiers.

As a not-for-profit cooperative, MTC Federal returns earnings to members via above-market deposit dividends, below-market loan rates, a Cash Back Checking program (up to $120/year), a Relationship Dividend loyalty disbursement, a Skip-A-Pay program, and a member perks discount program (Love My Credit Union Rewards, Regal Cinemas, Biltmore, Georgia Aquarium, Six Flags). Community is a structural pillar of the operating model: the affiliated MTC Federal Foundation administers scholarships (10 awards of $1,500 annually), disaster relief, and community giving, including the "$50K for 50 Years" initiative. Leadership transitioned in June 2026 when 20+ year internal executive Kimberly Witt was appointed President & CEO, succeeding Bill Love after 25 years.

2. Deposit Account Fees and Service Charges: Fee-based income from various account services including overdraft protection services, wire transfers, and ancillary banking services.
3. Debit and Credit Card Interchange: Interchange revenue generated from debit and credit card transactions. Members earn rewards (cash back, points) while the credit union earns interchange on each transaction.
