About Telhio... 

Click here for a copy of the 2008 Annual Report or here for the 2008 Audited Financial Statements. Finding innovative and creative programs, services and products for our members is what has driven Telhio since 1934 to become the credit union of choice where it pays to belong.

Telhio Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative that is a  full-service financial institution. That means that our members are our owners and they can expect to receive high-quality financial services to meet all of their needs.

Each day we apply our code of ethics to members, the credit union movement and society.  This code states that Telhio was formed for the purpose of encouraging savings by offering a good return, using collective monies to make loans at competitively low interest rates to members and providing other member services on a cooperative basis.  Members are united by a defined field of membership and democratically operate the credit union under state and federal law and regulation.

Telhio first began as the credit union for Columbus Telephone Company employees. Because of the expanded vision of our Board of Directors and management staff we now serve Select Employer Groups in a variety of industries to include: accounting, automotive, manufacturing, medical, real estate and telecommunications. Telhio is also open to everyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Franklin county and surrounding communities.

This credit union will conduct its relationships and operations in accordance with the Statement of Commitment to Members and uphold its fundamental commitment to serving its members.  Telhio is committed to the highest standards of responsibility and conduct and subscribes to the philosophy that members come first.

We are different from other financial institutions in our member education philosophy, our not-for-profit structure and the fact we are owned by our members and not by shareholders.  Our Board of Directors, who serve on a voluntary, non-compensated basis, is nominated from and elected by our members, and each member of the board must also be a member/owner of Telhio.

People helping people -- not-for-profit, not-for-charity, but for service is the international credit union motto, which the board, management and staff of Telhio takes to heart.
