Towpath Credit Union

Towpath Credit Union Exceptional service you expect, the best technology you deserve. The best of both worlds🚀 The towpath is the path that runs along the Ohio & Erie Canal.

Towpath Credit Union, formerly Akron Teachers Credit Union, was established in 1936 for employees of the Akron Public Schools. By 1969, the Akron Teachers Credit Union had outgrown the small Akron office. Many other employee groups had also realized the benefits of being credit union members. This dramatic growth prompted the Board of Directors to approve building the office located at 645 North M

ain Street in Akron that is still open today. The Akron Teachers Credit Union continued to grow with the addition of numerous employee membership groups, and finally by changing to a community charter in early 2004 – for those consumers who can join the credit union - that; live, work, worship and go to school in Summit County Ohio. Later that year, the Akron Teachers Credit Union also changed its name to Towpath Credit Union in order to more accurately describe its field of membership. The name “Towpath Credit Union” was chosen in honor of the historical significance of the canal and towpath in the birth and growth of Akron and surrounding communities. It stretches from Cleveland through Akron to Portsmouth, connecting Lake Erie to the Ohio River. In June of 2011 Towpath Credit Union and the former TeleCommunity Credit Union officially merged and retained the name Towpath Credit Union

Towpath Credit Union was proud to sponsor the Read for a Greener Akron event this past Saturday! 🌱📚 It was a wonderful day partnering with Dina Younis, author of S is for Secondhand, and the Keep Akron Beautiful team to bring families together around sustainability and learning.

Guests enjoyed hands-on crafts, fun activities for kids, and a special reading of S is for Secondhand by Dina herself—making it both an educational and memorable experience for all. It was great to see so many families coming together to learn simple ways to care for our environment while having fun.

Our Towpath CU team had a wonderful time attending The Dance Exchange recital on Friday evening! The Dance Exchange, a program of The Vincent House, offers ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop classes for preschool through 8th graders in the Middlebury neighborhood, with a mission to instill a love of dance in the hearts of our youth.

All of the performances were amazing, and it was clear just how much dedication and passion the students and teachers put into the production. We’re proud to support The Dance Exchange—a program that inspires creativity and helps young dancers grow both on and off the stage.

This past week, our Towpath Credit Union team wrapped up an incredible month of volunteering with RubberCity Rescue, spending time with the dogs and supporting the amazing work their organization does for animals in our community.

Throughout the month, three different groups of Towpath employees had the opportunity to volunteer with RubberCity Rescue. During our visits, our team spent time walking dogs, playing with them, and giving them plenty of love and attention while they wait for their forever homes. Along with volunteering at the rescue, our branches also participated in a bandana-making activity to help support the dogs in their care. 🐾💙

Giving back and staying involved in our community is something we truly value. We’re thankful for the opportunity to support organizations like Rubber City Rescue and proud of our team for dedicating their time throughout the month to make a positive impact.
