Carolina Trust is a not-for-profit financial institution that serves southeastern North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina at their seven convenient branch locations. Carolina Trust started as the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base Credit Union in 1958. They actively demonstrate the credit union philosophy “People Helping People,” through their commitment to serving area schools and local charities.

For the Carolina Trust company, what sets them apart from others in their field are their innovative products and services as well as their employees’ hard work and dedication.
Carolina Trust is unique in that they are a big enough company to offer robust financial services, but small enough to make local-minded decisions and remain vested in the communities they serve.
Their commitment to their customers shines through in every aspect of the company, and culminates in their company motto, “Putting People Ahead of Profits since 1958.” With their straightforward, clear goal, Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union is able to focus on creating products and services that do just that: put people first.
