Texell Celebrates Diamond Anniversary

Texell Credit Union celebrates 75 years of service to our members in 2023. Watch a short video below about our history and ways we'll continue to grow from Tony Hale, Texell's President and CEO.

When Texell opened its doors in 1948, we served the employees of the Temple Post Office, the Veterans Administration Center, and the Temple Soil Conservation Service. Officially named Texell Credit Union in 2002, membership expanded at that time to all of Bell County. Today, we serve all Texas residents.

From humble beginnings in a small office in the Veterans Center, Texell Credit Union is currently constructing a 45,000-square-foot headquarters in Temple, scheduled for completion in 2024. With eight branches across central Texas and over 92,000 free ATMs worldwide, we offer a variety of financial products and services to nearly 50,000 members.

Texell was named one of the “Best Credit Unions to Work for” in the nation by the Credit Union Journal for 2019 and 2020. Texell has been honored with the Excellence in Lending Award from CUNA Mutual Group, the Desjardins Adult Financial Literacy Award from the Texas Credit Union League, as the “Best Bank/Credit Union” by the readers of the Temple Daily Telegram, “Best Credit Union” by the readers of the Killeen Daily Herald and the Belton Journal and consistently earns the highest five-star, superior rating for financial soundness from Bauer Financial.
