Helping you pursue your passion, that’s our Trademark!

Who is Trademark Federal Credit Union?

This Member owned, not-for-profit cooperative holds the philosophy of ‘people helping people’. In 1936, the state of Maine Credit Union was formed. The country was in the midst of the Great Depression. People needed a safe and trusted place to put their money and a safe and fair place to borrow money. There were two employee groups who each started their own southern Maine credit unions to fill this need. The employees of Cumberland County Power and Light, created Cumberland County Power and Light Employees Federal Credit Union (CCP&L Employees FCU for short) and the associates of Hannaford created Hannaford Associates FCU. In 1954, CCP&L Employees FCU changed its name to Central Maine Power Employees FCU, followed by Alliance of Maine Federal Credit Union in 2002. In 2010, the name changed to Trademark Federal Credit Union through a mutual merger of those two founding credit unions in Maine. In 2018 this financial institution opened its charter to people who live, work, worship, attend school in, and businesses and other legal entities located in Cumberland, Sagadahoc and Kennebec counties.

With credit unions in South Portland, Scarborough and Augusta, ME, Trademark has been a trusted state of Maine credit union since 1936. We offer a wide variety of products and services, with some of the friendliest, most knowledgeable consumer and mortgage lenders in central and southern Maine. As a full service financial institution with consumer and mortgage lenders, our Loan Officers work hard to help people save money. Most recently, we worked with a Member to refinance their auto loan with us, and by lowering their rate and shortening the term, were able to save them $2,505.77 over the life of that car loan. We also help people get rid of high interest rate credit cards, whether it’s through our low-rate personal loan, or by utilizing the equity you already have in your home, with a HELOC (home equity line of credit) Loan. We believe in meaningful, purposeful work including to educate and teach our members how to pay less for loans. Whether it’s raising your credit score or budgeting, it’s our focus to empower you to pursue your passions.

Not just any old bank in Maine

We're a not-for-profit, community credit union

To experience the best banking in Maine, try a not-for-profit community credit union instead. Being part of a Member-owned cooperative, means that we’re collectively contributing toward a common goal of financial well-being for all. Instead of returning our earnings to shareholders, like a bank does, Trademark returns our earnings to our Members, in the form of higher savings rates, avoidable fees and low loan rates of all kinds, including personal loans, auto loans and more. Your success is our success.

Currently, Trademark has Interactive Teller Machines (ITMs) and credit unions in Augusta and South Portland. In addition to those locations, we also have an ITM in our Scarborough, Maine credit union facility located in the Hannaford Corporate building. Our ITMs offer the same functionality of an ATM, plus bonus features! On the ITM, you have the option of speaking with a live Teller through the video chat on the screen. Simply press “speak to a teller” and one of our smiling faces will appear on the screen. This function enables you to do almost everything you could do if you were physically in the branch. It’s important to us to make sure you can do banking your way, whether it be in the branch, at an ITM, or using one of our many remote options. Your way, your money and on your terms with your Southern Maine financial institution.

We understand the value of having full control of your finances, wherever you are, whenever you need them, so we have made sure to stay competitive on remote services and are rolling out a new app in 2023, designed to add even more convenience to people’s lives. Having your finances at your fingertips just got even easier!

Despite competition from some of the best banks in Maine, Trademark Federal Credit Union has made the Maine’s Best Places To Work list consistently and believe in our return to the members. Our team is passionate about people helping people and, together, we create an environment defined by inclusion, trust, and collaboration. Best Places to Work is about acknowledgement, appreciation, and proof that it’s people who make the difference. The intangibles and attributes our team possesses, collectively sets both the Member and employee experience.

We know everyone’s needs are different, so we take the time to listen and understand your unique story. Whether you want to sit down to go over your credit report, want assistance coming up with a budget or need to start a home equity loan (HELOC loan), our Team is ready and eager to help. We love to figure out different ways to make people’s lives easier, through financial security. We believe everyone has the right to feel financially secure and we want to be the ones to help people experience financial wellness.
