Recognizing the need for financial support among Fort Benning employees, The Infantry Center Federal Credit Union (TIC) was established in 1956. Initially, membership was limited to civilian employees at Fort Benning, but in 2005, TIC expanded to a community charter, allowing broader access to its services. In 2014, TIC rebranded as Kinetic Credit Union, a name that honors its legacy while embracing a forward‑thinking vision. While the name changed, the credit union remained committed to the same exceptional service and stability that members had come to trust. Further growth came in April 2016, when Kinetic merged with MEA Federal Credit Union, strengthening its presence in the region. This merger increased convenience for members by adding more branches and ATMs across a seven‑county area. Kinetic also became the official credit union for teachers, administrators, and support staff in local school districts. Today, Kinetic manages over $664 million in assets and proudly serves more than 45,000 members who live, work, worship, volunteer, or attend school in Muscogee, Chattahoochee, Harris, and Marion counties in Georgia, and Lee, Russell, and Macon counties in Alabama. A legacy of growth with a strong reputation for quality service, Kinetic Credit Union remains dedicated to helping members and their families improve their financial well‑being with safe, cost‑effective financial solutions.
