EECU Surpasses $4 Billion in Assets, Celebrating 90 Years of Service
EECU Reaches New Financial Milestone
In a historic announcement, EECU, one of Texas's premier credit unions, has officially surpassed $4 billion in assets, a remarkable feat achieved in the fourth quarter of 2024. This milestone is particularly significant as it occurs during the 90th anniversary of the credit union, which was established in 1934.
The growth of EECU has been impressive, especially since it crossed the $2 billion mark just seven years ago in 2017. This doubling of asset size is a testament to the organization's strategic planning and the trust placed in it by its members. EECU is now recognized as the second-largest credit union within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and in a recent recognition by Forbes, it was listed among the best credit unions in Texas for 2024.
Lonnie Nicholson, President and CEO of EECU, expressed pride in this achievement, stating, "This milestone is a testament to the value of the products and services we offer at EECU. It also underscores our commitment to leveraging modern technologies and providing the highest level of customer service. We thank our Members for choosing EECU as their trusted financial partner and we're proud to support them at every step in their financial journey."
In addition to reaching this significant asset milestone, EECU has been enhancing its physical presence in the region. The credit union has recently opened its 19th Financial Center in Fort Worth, located at the Shops at Chisholm Trail Ranch. With plans to open two additional locations in early 2025, EECU will soon have a total of 21 Financial Centers to better serve the diverse community of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
EECU's commitment to its members is further demonstrated by its wide range of financial products and services. With over 279,000 members, the credit union operates as a not-for-profit institution and offers services that include personal loans, mortgages, and various savings options. The financial organization prides itself on providing competitive rates and a high level of customer service, which continues to attract new members.
Furthermore, EECU ensures nationwide access through an extensive network that comprises 5,000 Service Centers, 85,000 ATMs that offer free transactions, and advanced online and mobile banking services available around the clock. This convenience is essential in today’s fast-paced digital world, and EECU is dedicated to adapting and evolving as technology advances.
As EECU moves forward, it remains steadfast in its mission of supporting members at every stage of their financial journey, leveraging technology, and enhancing member services. The growth to over $4 billion in assets is not just a number; it represents the financial health and success of countless individuals and families who have trusted EECU with their financial futures.
In conclusion, EECU's achievement is a clear indication of its solid position in the financial services arena and its unwavering commitment to its members. The credit union looks forward to continuing its growth and serving the Dallas-Fort Worth community for many years to come.
