Texas Trust Reports Record Growth Entering 90th YearBy: Texas Trust Credit Union Texas Trust grew its assets by nearly four percent in 2025 - its strongest performance since 2023. The credit union's vehicle loans, credit cards, and unsecured signature loans all experienced double-digit growth. "2025 was a year of positive growth across the board," said Jim Minge, CEO of Texas Trust Credit Union. "We leaned into our mission of 'people helping people' by keeping rates competitive and working hard to review our members' entire financial situations to find opportunities to put money back in their pockets." Texas Trust modernized its digital platforms to offer new payment channels and a more convenient member experience. It also launched a new online account opening process, integrated Zelle, and implemented instant-decisioning technology for online loan applications. Physical expansion and long-term investment was a priority. Along with the opening of a new branch in Mansfield and establishing a footprint in Fort Worth, the credit union purchased the iconic Skymark Tower in Arlington for its future headquarters. Currently undergoing remodeling, the new headquarters represents a significant investment in the region and a long-term commitment to the communities Texas Trust serves. The Texas Trust Gives Foundation contributed $331,571 to the community through grants, scholarships, and nonprofit donations, representing a 5% increase over the previous year. These contributions included a $20,000 grant to Grand Prairie ISD's Dubiski High School aviation and engineering programs and a $50,000 five-year commitment to nursing scholarships at Angelo State University. Texas Trust employees also delivered a record year of service, with more than 200 staff members volunteering 2,271 hours—a 34% increase over 2024. As Texas Trust enters 2026, it celebrates 90 years of service. Founded in 1936 by 10 Vought Aircraft Company employees who pooled their savings, the credit union has grown into a billion-dollar institution serving more than 130,000 members. "Ninety years ago, our founders pooled their funds to create a safe place to save and borrow," Minge said. "Today, we remain driven by that same passion. As we look forward, we remain dedicated to transforming the lives of the members who have placed their trust in us for nearly a century."
