Neighborhood Credit Union is Celebrating 90 Years

On April 18, 2020, Neighborhood Credit Union officially turned 90 years old. 

We are honored to achieve 90 years of service at Neighborhood Credit Union. We’re so excited we’ve been celebrating all year during 2020 with different promotions and special content for our members. You can keep up with it on our dedicated webpage. 

 

We opened our door just months after the U.S. stock market crashed in 1930. During the Great Depression, when American confidence in financial institutions was at an all-time low, Dallas Postal Credit Union worked hard to earn trust and loyalty of its charter members. The first decade came with its own unique set of problems just as any company would, but Dallas Postal CU continuously grew with $151,119.76 (equal to over $2.8 million today) and 655 members. From 1940 to 2000, Dallas Postal CU continued to grow its membership and embrace the changes with technology, new products were introduced, and assets continued to increase. In 2001, the credit union officially changed its name to Neighborhood Credit Union, a name that more accurately defines our diverse base of members from all over the Dallas-Fort Worth area.  

 

Neighborhood Credit Union is fast growing with over 56,000 members and has assets that now top $850 million. Neighborhood Credit Union’s ongoing effort to offer members convenient services in their communities with 13 branch locations, a freshly designed website, and award winning mobile access wherever they go has made us a top-rated credit union in Dallas-Fort Worth.  
We offer accounts that benefit a member at any stage of life. Get better-than-free checking and cash back rewards with Cash Back Checking. Our Fresh Start account is great for those needing to get back on their feet with a low opening deposit. You can earn more while using High Yield Checking, a free and high yield interest checking account earning higher than any CD or high yield savings rate - the only checking account like it in North Texas. 

 

For our birthday, we’d love for everyone to contribute to our ongoing fundraiser for the North Texas Food Bank. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), millions are living in uncertainty and have lost their only source of income. Food banks all across the United States are struggling to keep up with the sudden shift in our society. This is exactly why we have pledged to donate dollar for dollar up to $25,000. If we successfully reach our goal, we can collectively donate over $50,000 to the North Texas Food Bank. You can donate today by visiting our Facebook page. 

We cannot thank our members enough for allowing us to be a staple part of the North Texas community. When you join a credit union, you become a stakeholder of the organization and are the key players in how we operate. We would not exist if it weren’t for our dedicated members. We look forward to continuing our work to keep our members happy and financially successful for another 90 years. Thank you.
