Connect With the Spero Family
On this day 91 years ago, 19 employees of the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company formed Greenville Telco Federal Credit Union. At the end of the first year, their assets totaled just $5,000.
Over the years, many things have changed, from the size of our membership to our name, but one thing has always remained the same: our commitment to improving the financial lives of our members. 💙
#TeamSpero had the chance to attend Samaritan Health Clinic’s Kentucky Derby Day event this weekend! 🏇
Proceeds will support the Clinic’s mission to provide outpatient healthcare services to eligible, medically underserved residents of Pickens County.
Our Management Team had a great time volunteering on the 2026 @habitatgvl Credit Union Build!
We’re so excited to team up with other upstate credit unions to help a local family build a home and financial stability.
Join us in congratulating several members of #TeamSpero who completed a rigorous course to become certified financial counselors! 🎓🥳
This certification equips them to better serve our members and improve financial lives in our communities.
Thank you to Jeremy Price from @uwpickens for speaking at the ceremony.
