SC Telco Fcu

As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, Spero Financial relies on the extraordinary power of collaboration. From members to volunteers to staff and leadership, we are all resilient individuals who find strength, security, and success by working together for the good of our collective community. We are agile, using an innovative spirit to help us soar higher and navigate necessary change. As the national economy drifts from prosperous highs to frightening lows and back again, we've held steady - today having over 46,000 members and $425 million in assets. While our name has changed, formerly SC Telco Federal Credit Union, the mission of Spero Financial to improve the financial lives of our members has never wavered. Our credit union has spent more than 85 years focusing on one simple goal: to provide trustworthy financial solutions that empower everyday people to take ownership of their future. While our story began in 1935, our roots go back to 1844, when the first financial cooperative was formed for one simple purpose: people pooling their money together to make loans to each other. This cooperative spirit is what empowered our humble beginnings as Greenville Telco Federal Credit Union some 85 years ago. William Wirt Stover, alongside 18 other Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company members, conducted trades to fellow telecommunication workers from the trunk of his car. In 1977, we became known as SC Telco Federal Credit Union, influencing the next era of enhanced financial products and services to our members across the state. No longer did we provide just savings and loans but an expanded portfolio of financial offerings for every stage of life. With continued asset growth throughout South Carolina?s Upstate and Midlands, we became one of the largest credit unions in the Palmetto State ? a distinction we still hold today.
