Company Overview
Who They Are
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, they have grown to meet the needs of the communities we serve and share TDECU's passion for service and great value in our products. Their first merger took us west to the Victoria area, where we made many new friends and Members. They have since become an integral part of the community. In the East Market, where they began, they opened their field of membership to serve all Brazoria County residents. Today, TDECU has 39 service locations, including 35 Member Centers.
The original $35 loan has turned into over $4 billion in assets today that continue to improve our more than 354,000 Members' lives by helping them get what they need to achieve their financial needs and dreams.
