Fort Worth-based EECU said it reached $4 billion in total assets in the fourth quarter of 2024, marking a milestone in the not-for-profit credit union’s 90-year history.
EECU is one of the largest credit unions in Texas and the second-largest credit union in North Texas, behind only the American Airlines Credit Union, according to the Dallas Business Journal. In 2024 it was recognized by Forbes as one of the best credit unions in the state.
“This milestone is a testament to the value of the products and services we offer at EECU,” President and CEO Lonnie Nicholson said in a statement, referring to the credit union’s asset size. “It also underscores our commitment to leveraging modern technologies and providing the highest level of customer service. We thank our members for choosing EECU as their trusted financial partner and we’re proud to support them at every step in their financial journey.”
EECU, which crossed the $2 billion-in-assets threshold in 2017, recently opened its 19th financial center—a state-of-the-art location at the Shops at Chisholm Trail Ranch in Fort Worth. It said that with the addition of two more locations scheduled to open early this year, EECU will have a total of 21 financial centers.
The credit union, whose heritage is supporting teachers and educators, has more than 279,000 members.
