TEXAS TRUST CREDIT UNION has been serving its members since 1936. In 1990, it opened its first branch in Arlington, and it now has a team of roughly 250 staff members at its headquarters and in 16 branches, including six in Arlington. Texas Trust’s primary services include checking accounts, savings accounts, personal loans, real estate loans, insurance products, and investment services, as well as a full suite of digital money management tools. The company also offers several unique, cutting-edge services. Each of the company-offered checking accounts comes with the member’s choice of debit card, including a spirit debit rewards card, which gives members a way to support local students with every swipe. Further, its Checking20 account holders can receive up to $20 per month in bonuses. Since June 2015, Texas Trust has given members nearly $710,000 in Checking20 bonuses. The credit union’s mobile app is a full-service app, including mobile deposit and “Card Controls,” which allows members to freeze and unfreeze their credit or debit card. Additionally, Texas Trust offers an 80-day CD (certificate of deposit) at the member-friendly rate of .80% annual percentage yield. The staff embraces the company philosophy: “Building Brighter Financial Futures.” They know their members are friends, neighbors, and local business leaders, and have been helping them to live brighter since 1936. The ages-old credit union philosophy is “people helping people,” and Texas Trust serves that philosophy by focusing on its members’ best interests and on the education of local students. Every swipe of a spirit debit rewards card directly supports education in the communities Texas Trust serves. Because of its commitment to the community and to service “so great our members will brag about it,” Texas Trust has grown into a network of neighborhood branches with assets worth nearly one billion dollars. Despite phenomenal growth, the team maintains the spirit of a member-owned, personal financial cooperative with the same small-town, friendly service Texas Trust has offered their members since opening their doors. For example, in 2011 the company launched a program to give back to area students. A Spirit Debit Rewards card comes with any Texas Trust checking account and with every swipe, Texas Trust donates to the school, district, or organization Member FDIC depicted on the card. In December 2015, Texas Trust celebrated a milestone when it reached the $1,000,000 mark. In June 2015, it created the Checking20 account. Eligible members receive up to $20 in bonuses each month by simply doing the things we all do: financing a vehicle, shopping with a credit card, and buying a home. As of October 2016, Texas Trust has given back $709,798 in Checking20 11/19/15 3:58 $1,000,000 PM bonuses – and can’t wait to celebrate another milestone.
