An Inclusive Credit Union with a Baylor Heritage
In 1956, the president of Baylor University wrote a letter to the Texas Credit Union Department requesting a charter for a credit union. Once granted, our founding members — Baylor employees, students, alumni, and their families — pooled their savings and created the financial cooperative we now call 1st University Credit Union. Their vision was to come together to help each other reach life’s goals. Today, we continue to affirm this mission by delivering financial solutions to the Baylor and Waco communities with exceptional service to our members. 1st University Credit Union — where bears have banked since 1956.
In the modern landscape of finance, we continue to echo the resounding call of our origins. Our commitment to delivering exceptional financial solutions is surpassed only by the devotion we extend to our cherished members. Through the tides of change and the winds of progress, we remain steadfast companions, guiding our members toward their aspirations, one financial triumph at a time, and providing the best Baylor University banking services possible.
