What We Do
Founded in 1955, TDECU formed when a group of Dow employees pitched in $5 each to loan a friend $35 to buy a refrigerator. That initial mission of people helping people continues today. Over the last 65 years, we have grown to meet the needs of the communities we serve and share TDECU's passion for service and great value in our products. Our first merger took us west to the Victoria area, where we made many new friends and Members. We have since become an integral part of the community. In the East Market, where we began, we opened our field of membership to serve all Brazoria County residents. Today, TDECU has 38 service locations, including 34 Member Centers. The original $35 loan has turned into over $4.7 billion in assets today that continue to improve our more than 372,000 Members' lives by helping them get what they need to achieve their financial needs and dreams.
