Since the beginning, InvesTex Credit Union (formerly Aldine Teachers Credit Union) has grown and expanded our field of membership. As we look forward to a new chapter in Credit Union history, we look back fondly on the past.

By the end of 1953, the Credit Union had over $5,000 in assets; a substantial amount in those days. Membership had grown to 89 members and 73 loans had already been issued.
