About TRI-CU
A member-owned credit union rooted in the Tri-Cities and committed to helping local people reach their financial goals.
Our Story
Tri-Cities Community Federal Credit Union, doing business as TRI-CU, is a federally chartered credit union founded in 1969 by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 112. Our original name was IBEW #112 Federal Credit Union, and membership was restricted to electricians and their families.
In early 1983, the charter changed to include anyone living or working in Kennewick. In 1986, the name changed to Kennewick Community Federal Credit Union.
In August 2009, the name changed to Tri-Cities Community Federal Credit Union, and membership expanded to include anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Benton or Franklin County, as well as members’ immediate families. In 2017, we abbreviated our name with the alias “TRI-CU Credit Union.”

The Credit Union Difference
As a credit union, we are a tax-exempt, not-for-profit financial cooperative. Profits are returned to our member-owners through better rates, lower fees, better service, and more products.
Our founding philosophy is to help the “common person” achieve financial goals through the money we can help them save, by encouraging thrift, and by providing financial education when possible.
Membership That Stays With You
To open an account, complete a membership card and make a minimum deposit of $5.00, the value of one share in the credit union. Dividends are computed daily and paid monthly on each share.
Only accounts with $50 or more receive dividends. As long as you maintain an active savings account, your membership and its benefits continue even if you change jobs, move away, or retire.
Membership is open to eligible people in Benton and Franklin counties and their immediate families.
