Financial Counseling
Let us help! TFCU is teaching credit union. We meet you where you are financially. We help you define the goals you would like to set or objectives you would like to meet.
We are local! We know what it’s like to have inconsistent income from the various industries across coastal Alaska. We also know how expensive life can be, from groceries to vacations. We can help you get organized, learn how to best understand your habits, and how to maximize your income.
TFCU also partners with Balance to provide members the Balance Financial Fitness Program.
Let’s get started today and get you matched with a local TFCU Financial Coach or a Balance team member.
