Our Story

Our Beginnings

American Partners Federal Credit Union was originated in 1975 to serve the American Tobacco Company, one of the first giants of industry. In 1995, a merger occurred to include Sears Piedmont Employees FCU, resulting in a full financial institution.  Although we have been fortunate to see our Membership grow over the years, we have never forgotten how we came to be or why we are here today. Our sole purpose is to serve the needs of our Members and their families. We offer services that benefit our membership and the savings stays in their pockets. That's The Credit Union Difference. We have three physical branches and we participate in a Shared Branching Network made up of thousands of credit unions across the nation who have come together to provide convenient access to any member who belongs to a participating credit union.  See the CO-OP button at the bottom of this page.
