I’ve been a member for almost 10 years. Super simple loan process and great checking/savings options. Great local credit union!
Hi Huston - Thanks so much for your five-star endorsement of United Texas Credit Union. We sincerely appreciate your loyalty and look forward to serving you and your family for many years to come! Thanks again! - Karla :)
New to the area, wanted a Credit Union to bank with. We found United Texas. Very friendly, easy to set up account. Looking forward to many years of banking. You definitely don't feel like a number. Would have rated a 5 Star if we'd of been able to get Debit cards right away, took about a week, same for checks. But all doable.
Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your recent experience at our Boerne Branch. Welcome to the United Texas family! We look forward to serving you and your family for years to come! - Karla
I am a new member and in a crazy world where management gets nothing but complaints, I would like to compliment your employee Abby for her professionalism and prompt responses. I hate banks and dealing with them and she has totally changed my mind. Very knowledgeable of what her job is and performs well. Keep up the good work Abby!!!! Way to go!!!
