About CTECU
Calcasieu Teachers & Employees Credit Union (CTECU) is a not-for-profit financial cooperative that was founded in 1954 by a group of teachers in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. We are committed to providing our members with the best possible financial services, at the lowest possible cost.
We are member-owned and operated, which means that our profits are returned to our members in the form of lower interest rates on loans and higher interest rates on savings accounts. We are also committed to providing excellent customer service and giving back to our community.
One of the core beliefs at CTECU is that EVERYONE is a teacher. Everyone has something to teach. No matter if you’re in the classroom, on the field, in the house, or behind the wheel…you’re a teacher! Here at CTECU, we serve teachers. So, that means we’re for you.
