On July 12, 1936, Plate Mill Employees Credit Union was established in a corner of the West Plant of Alcoa, Inc's Tennessee Operations with 9 members at the organizational meeting. Holman Vincent was the first teller, treasurer and officially opened the credit union on July 9, 1936. The Credit Union grew and soon there were 204 members and the first teller drawer was created from a cigar box.
L.W. Bogart served as treasurer of the credit union from 1940 - 1947. He was the 3rd Treasurer following Holman Vincent. In 1942 Plate Mill Credit Union and the North Plant Credit Union merged with 900 members to create Alcoa Credit Union.
