Texan roots

In 1953, 11 Texas Instruments employees pooled five dollars each and petitioned the Texas Banking Commission to establish an organization promoting thrift and providing low-cost loans to TI employees. Soon after, a charter was granted by the State of Texas, and Texins Credit Union was born. Three months later, membership had grown to over 267, and assets totaled $6,855.73. A tradition of excellence had begun.

For nearly 40 years, Texins served only Texas Instruments employees. Then, in 1991, Texins expanded its field of membership to include employees at select businesses outside of TI. In 1998, Texins Credit Union expanded once again to adopt a community charter, allowing it to offer membership to citizens in surrounding communities. That same year, members voted to change the name from Texins to Texans better to reflect the diversity of this expanded field of membership.

Today, Texans provide a full suite of financial products and services to more than 120,000 members. We're big, we're confident, and we're all in for our fellow Texans. Membership now spans the entire state of Texas and serves the employees of over 100 select businesses. The Credit Union operates 11 branches and manages over $2.1 billion in assets.
