About Us
Our History
Fort Worth City Credit Union got its start in 1929, during the height of the Great Depression. Fort Worth Municipal employees came together with a simple but powerful idea: pool their money to help each other. From a desk drawer in the basement of City Hall, they built a credit union to provide affordable loans to fellow employees when banks weren’t an option. It was coworkers helping coworkers—people helping people.
That same spirit still drives us today. What began with a few city workers and a whole lot of determination has grown into a not-for-profit financial cooperative with more than 15,000 members and over $300 million in assets. While the desk drawer is long gone, our mission hasn’t changed: offer better rates, fewer fees, and real financial support that helps our members get more out of their money—and their lives.
Ownership
Joining Fort Worth City Credit Union is easy—just a $25 deposit gets you started. As a member, you’re never just a number—you get a vote, a say, and the power to help shape how we operate. You even help elect the volunteers who serve on our board and guide our policies.
When we do well, so do you. After covering our day-to-day costs, we return profits to our members through better savings rates, lower loan rates, and fewer fees.
