Treadwell Credit Union began in 1957 as a credit union built by and for General Motors employees in the Miami Valley region. The organization recently rebranded from DayMet Credit Union to Treadwell Credit Union, honoring its legacy while signaling forward momentum. As a federally-insured credit union (NCUA-insured), it operates as a member-owned, not-for-profit institution dedicated to enriching members' financial well-being through community partnership.
Treadwell offers comprehensive financial services including savings accounts, checking accounts with rewards (Trail Blazer and Gem City accounts), certificates, personal loans, mortgages, and online banking. Members gain access to 5,000+ ATMs with listed network fee context nationwide through shared branching networks. Digital services include It'sMe24/7 Online Banking, a mobile app, mobile check deposit, bill pay, and fund transfers. The credit union also provides community recognition programs like the Do Good for Dayton Award and Golden Apple Award for teachers and coaches.
Treadwell distinguishes itself through strong community ties and member benefits integrated with local partnerships. Their checking accounts include BaZing app discounts at local Miami Valley businesses, early direct deposit, cell phone protection, roadside assistance, and identity theft protection. The credit union maintains 5 physical branches in the Dayton area and operates a telephone teller service (CU Talk). Their recent rebranding emphasizes stability—operating for nearly 70 years—while modernizing services for current members.
As a credit union, Treadwell is limited to serving members who meet eligibility requirements (typically GM employees, family members, or community membership in the Miami Valley). While they offer rate claims to verify and comprehensive services, members must qualify for membership and may face fewer branch locations than large national banks. The organization's focus on community and member service is genuine, though service scope is regional rather than national.
