A member owned financial institution whose volunteers and employees are dedicated to providing personal services and quality products at reasonable rates, while still maintaining credit union long-term financial stability.

1950

Joplin Telephone Employees Credit Union was formed March 15, 1950, and served all Bell employees in the Joplin, MO district, and members of their immediate families and organizations of such persons.

1990

March 31, 1990 Jasper County Credit Union merged with Joplin Telephone Employees Credit Union. At the time of the merger Joplin Telephone Credit Union had 3,100 members, and assets at $6,500,000.00. Jasper County had 1,300 members and assets at $1,800,000.00. Jasper County served employees of Sperry-Vickers, Meekers, Ozark Engineering, and any educational institution in Jasper County.

1993

Several companies in Joplin and the surrounding area eventually were able to provide Credit Union membership to their employees, by approval of the Division of Credit Unions. Due to the diversification in the membership, the credit union decided on a name change to better reflect the assorted businesses they represented. On December 1, 1993, Joplin Telephone Credit Union became Joplin Metro Credit Union.
