Getting Started
To begin utilizing any of our products or services you must first open a Share Savings account with a $5.00 deposit. This deposit guarantees your right to be a member-owner of Telhio, a full-service financial cooperative since 1934. Telhio products and services are available to everyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Franklin County and these zip codes extending beyond such as: Canal Winchester, Dublin, Galloway, Johnstown, London, Orient, Pataskala, Pickerington, Powell, Reynoldsburg, and Westerville. Membership is also extended to anyone who is related to a current Telhio member (parent, grandparent, spouse, child, brother or sister).
Your funds are insured! The savings shares in your credit union are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), an arm of the National Credit Union Administration. This share insurance is similar to deposit insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Click here for more information on NCUA insurance.
Telhio has additional insurance that will provide coverage to our members beyond the typical $250,000 for share savings accounts. This is the highest level of combined federal/private share savings insurance available. This coverage has become available through the addition of excess coverage from the Excess Share Insurance Corporation (ESI).
ESI now provides $250,00 in coverage on top of the federal government's $250,000. The best news for our membership is that this additional insurance is FREE!
