About Us
Our History
As a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative, Fort Worth City Credit Union was chartered in 1929 with the basic premise of offering generous rates of return on share accounts, low-interest loans, and useful financial services to help our members get more out of their hard earned dollars, and out of life.
Our status as not-for-profit sets us apart from other types of financial institutions. It means that we work daily to provide each and every member with time and money-saving opportunities. With more than 94 years of service, today the Credit Union has over $300 million in assets and offers a long list of financial tools to help members and their families build for financial success.
Ownership
With a minimum of a $25.00 deposit, eligible persons may join the credit union. Your membership entitles you to a vote and a voice in the daily operations. You have the option to elect volunteers to serve on the board of directors which sets policies and establishes bylaws.
After paying all operating expenses, credit union profits are returned to members in the form of higher returns on savings, lower rates on loans, and a variety of fee-free or low-cost services.

We will continuously strive to improve the financial health of our member-owners through accounts, loans, and service delivery that exceed expectations.
