This Member owned, not-for-profit cooperative holds the philosophy of ‘people helping people’. 83 years ago, in 1936, the Credit Union was formed. The country was in the midst of the Great Depression. People needed a safe and trusted place to put their money and a safe and fair place to borrow money. There were two employee groups who each started their own credit unions to fill this need. The employees of Cumberland County Power and Light, created Cumberland County Power and Light Employees Federal Credit Union (CCP&L Employees FCU for short) and the associates of Hannaford created Hannaford Associates Federal Credit Union. In 1954, CCP&L Employees FCU changed its name to Central Maine Power Employees FCU, followed by Alliance of Maine FCU in 2002. In 2010, the name changed to Trademark Federal Credit Union through a mutual merger of those two founding Credit Unions. In 2018 the Credit Union opened its charter to people who live, work, worship, attend school in, and businesses and other legal entities located in Cumberland, Sagadahoc and Kennebec counties.
