Our Performance
Volunteer Federal Savings & Loan is a mutual institution with a federal thrift charter which employs strategies that differ greatly from publically traded financial institutions. We are not driven by returns on investment or meeting market and stockholder expectations. Rather, we are driven by servicing our community's financing needs while ensuring and maintaining growth, asset quality, and liquidity. This had been successfully accomplished by adhering to conservative management practices that target steady and controlled growth over the years. This explains why Volunteer Federal continues to be profitable through difficult economic conditions. In fact, throughout our history, Volunteer Federal has never recorded a loss because its strategy is based on flexibility and long term outcomes. This strategy has enabled Volunteer Federal to endure several crises, including the savings and loan crisis in the 1980's.
Volunteer Federal has consistently received the highest rating (5 out of 5 stars) from Bauer Financial, an independent and unbiased source for bank and credit union ratings (http://www.bauerfinancial.com).
