Welcome to TSB Financial, a division of Empeople Credit Union
Empeople Credit Union has officially acquired TSB Bank, and will merge core systems on September 29. This page contains all the information you need to ensure a smooth transition.
Why TSB and Empeople?
TSB and Empeople are more than just financial institutions, they are pillars of the community. TSB has a rich history of supporting both residents and businesses in Wisconsin for over 100 years. With our history at the John Deere Horicon Works, it’s only fitting that TSB’s path would cross with Empeople’s, which began in 1935 as Deere & Company Credit Union.
Together, as TSB Financial, a division of Empeople Credit Union, we are combining resources to bring members and businesses market-leading rates on savings and loans, one-on-one financial guidance, and a five-star digital banking experience.
Information about your accounts
Accounts, cards, loans, online and mobile banking and statements
You will receive a new member account number(s) in September, but your balances and information will transfer to our new system.
Effective immediately, you may receive better rates on your savings accounts.
With the conversion to TSB Financial, a division of Empeople Credit Union, you are an Empeople member and will receive a new member account number. We will be sending communications mid-September outlining your new member account number(s), the accounts and loans tied to that membership, and the debit card(s) and joint owners (if any) associated with them. You will need your account number to register for Empeople Digital Banking. Please note: You may receive multiple new member account numbers and communications, as we will group your existing accounts and loans by like ownership (e.g. individual, joint, business, etc.).
Every member will have a membership account, also known as a “primary share,” which we will fund with $5 on your behalf. This account represents your share of ownership in the credit union.
Empeople’s routing number is 271186423. There is no need to update stored payee information to replace TSB Financial’s routing number, as it is still valid and will continue working after core merger.
Debit cards
Your TSB Bank debit cards will continue to work through September 28, 2025. Your new Empeople debit cards will arrive in the mail by mid-September. Please review email and paper mail carefully for important information on switching out your debit card.
To activate and create a PIN for your new Empeople debit card, call the phone number on the back of the card from the primary phone number on your account.
Credit cards
Your TSB Bank credit cards will continue to work until they expire.
For questions about your credit card, or to report a lost or stolen card, please call the number on the back of your card.
Your loans will remain at TSB Financial with your current balances, rates and terms. However, loan disclosures will now reference Empeople Credit Union as your servicer. Until core conversion on September 29, you can continue to make loan payments as you have been.
You will receive communication via email and letter about your member number and how to set up digital banking, at which point you can make loan payments through Empeople Digital Banking.
Automatic loan payments
Home equity loans
Because TSB Financial is a division of Empeople Credit Union, what were previously known as “CDs” (certificates of deposit) will be called “Share Certificates,” per NCUA regulations. If you currently have a certificate with TSB, your current rate will remain the same. When your certificate matures, it will automatically renew for your convenience, and you will receive whatever rate is effective at the time of renewal. All TSB certificates that automatically renew will follow Empeople Credit Union compounding and crediting scheduling. If you are unsure how your certificate is set up, or you want to change instructions, please call us at (800) 338-6739.
Your TSB Bank checks are still valid.
Business and personal checks can be reordered at your local TSB Financial branch or through Empeople Digital Banking but will be branded as Empeople Credit Union.
Please note: Any auto pays, direct deposits, and new check orders after September 29, will reflect your new Empeople account and routing number.
Online and mobile banking will migrate to Empeople Digital Banking on September 26, 2025 and TSB Financial online and mobile banking will be sunset. Empeople Digital Banking will be available to TSB members starting September 29.
Here’s what you need to know about the migration:
