After 64 years of serving the employees of Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania, adopting a community charter greatly expanded the FOM. As a result of that charter change, the Philadelphia Telco Credit Union became TruMark Financial Credit Union in 2003. With nearly 121,000 members, TruMark Financial is currently the sixth largest credit union in Pennsylvania, with assets in excess of $2.3 billion.
