Heritage South was established in 1957 as EPCO Credit Union in Shelbyville at the Empire Pencil Company. There were approximately 15 charter members and now more than 20,000 area residents are members. The first office was a small room at the Empire plant. The name changed in 2006 to Heritage South Community Credit Union when the organization was granted a community charter. This provided the credit union the opportunity to provide services to anyone who works, lives, worships or attends school in Bedford, Marshall and Rutherford County. Offices are located in Murfreesboro, Shelbyville and Lewisburg. Heritage South is federally insured by the NCUA.
