Transcend Credit Union

Did you know that Kentucky Telco Credit Union is now Transcend Credit Union?

We copied the text below from the Transcend Credit Union Our History page:

"Transcend Credit Union (formerly Kentucky Telco Credit Union) has played an important role in the financial well-being of our members since 1934. Our first members were Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company (later BellSouth, AT&T) employees, and we are proud of our heritage serving telecom employees, businesses, and individuals. However, the name, product, and service changes of the "Telephone Company" through the years required the Credit Union to diversify its membership in order to remain financially strong.

The state charter conversion in December 2015 opened the door for the Credit Union to serve the Louisville, Lexington, and Owensboro communities. Membership is open to anyone who works, lives, worships, volunteers, or attends school in the following counties: Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Bullitt, Clark, Madison, Daviess, Estill, Fayette, Franklin, Garrard, Harrison, Henry, Jefferson, Jessamine, Lincoln, Mercer, Nicholas, Oldham, Powell, Scott, Shelby, Spencer, Trimble, and Woodford in Kentucky.

For over 80 years, we have committed to helping our members reach their financial goals with quality products, affordable rates, and the unbeatable personal service that members deserve. The Credit Union's financial condition remains outstanding - as documented by our Annual Report and five-star rating from BauerFinancial, Inc., the financial institution rating organization.

Transcend Credit Union has 47,000 members throughout Louisville and Southern Indiana and $385 million in assets. With 6 Louisville locations, and a branch in Lexington and Owensboro, Transcend Credit Union offers a full range of deposit, lending, mortgage and investment products with access through branches, online and mobile app, and extensive ATM networks."

What is a TFSA?

If you've ever wanted to know more about TFSA's, you've come to the right place. Suppose you were 18 and you had $5,500 to spare.  Imagine that you opened an account and invested it and that by the time you were 65 you had almost $500,000 in it.  If you left it there until you were 73, it could be more like a $1 million.  Does that sound too good to be true?  What if you had that $5,500 every year until you retired and put it in there?  Can you imagine what this might grow to?  Maybe $5.4 million.  These numbers assume the Canadian government leaves the TSFA intact over your lifetime and that your TSFA earns an average of 9.8% each year (the average annualized total return of the S&P 500 over the past 90 years).  The numbers show the power of compounding and the benefits of a Tax-Free Savings account. First, let’s explore what compounding is.  Compounding means you are earning money on your money earned.  For example you begin with $5,500 in year one.  It earns $539

Email, texts, news sites notifications, never in human history have we had to process as much information as we do now, and more comes every minute. How do we process it all? How do we see it all? Or rather, how do we see only what we need to see? Jonathan Spira is the CEO and Chief Analyst of Basex, a research firm focusing on issues companies face as they navigate the knowledge economy. In his book Overload! How Too Much Information Is Hazardous To Your Organization , published in 2011, Spira estimated that interruptions and information overload were eating up 28 billion wasted hours a year, at a loss of almost $1 trillion to the U.S. economy. I wonder what the estimate is at present, and what the projected growth on this loss is. Clearly, organizations and individuals need to get a handle on information inflows.
