Truliant Federal Credit Union operates as a non-profit financial institution offering a comprehensive suite of banking, lending, and advisory services.

The organization was chartered in 1952 as Radio Shops Credit Union, established by Fred Sarda and a collective of employees at Western Electric. Their foundational insight was the need for a financial cooperative to serve workers, commencing operations with approximately 2,000 members. This initiative created an accessible financial resource for employees during a period of significant industrial expansion, reportedly even storing initial funds within a cigar box.

Truliant serves its members across the Carolinas and Virginia, aiming to improve lives by prioritizing member needs. The institution’s mission is to provide excellent service and clear financial solutions that empower individuals to achieve their aspirations. It continues to focus on fostering financial well-being, aspiring to remain a trusted partner in its members' long-term financial journeys.
