CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., and JACKSON, Miss., (Dec. 16, 2025) —The Mississippi Credit Union Association (MSCUA) and the Tennessee Credit Union League (TCUL) today announce their members have overwhelmingly voted to merge. This vote allows the two organizations to formally unite and build on their shared commitment to credit unions in Tennessee and Mississippi.
“Through this collaboration with Mississippi, we are building a stronger trade association for both Tennessee and Mississippi credit unions,” said Fred Robinson, president and CEO of the Tennessee Credit Union League. “By bringing together more than 170 credit unions under one organization, we can offer credit unions dedicated advocacy resources, more educational opportunities at better prices, and deeper expertise across compliance, events and vendor partnerships. It also gives credit unions a louder collective voice in Washington and at the state level.”
The new organization will become a legal entity on Jan. 1, 2026, and the Tennessee League and Mississippi Credit Union Association will begin the transition process to combine the state trade associations.
Fred Robinson, president and CEO of the Tennessee Credit Union League, will serve at the helm of the new organization. Charles Elliott, current president/CEO of the Mississippi Credit Union Association, will serve as chief advocacy officer of Mississippi.
“We are excited to strengthen our support for credit unions of all asset sizes, with an increased focus on supporting smaller credit unions,” said Robinson. “In the coming months, we will work closely with our transition board to align our products, services, structure and strategy in meaningful ways as we build the new organization.”
