Introducing Galveston Chamber's newest Trustee Member - AMOCO Federal Credit Union

 

Galveston branch coming soon!

 

AMOCO Federal Credit Union and the Galveston Chamber of Commerce have collaborated so that member representatives of the Galveston Chamber are now eligible to utilize the services of AMOCO Federal Credit Union!  Stay tuned for details of their Galveston location coming soon. 

 

AMOCO Federal Credit Union is a member-owned financial institution, dedicated to making a difference in the communities where our members live and work.  As a credit union that serves over 300 diverse companies and more than 60,000 members, AMOCO Federal Credit Union desires to be a solid corporate citizen that supports local charities and organizations that are important to our members and entities we serve.

Our Mission

"To serve and satisfy our members"

To serve... The reason why the credit union was created and why it continues to exist today, is to serve the financial needs of its members. This service comes in the form of competitive rates, minimal service fees, convenient access, and financial literacy.
 

...and satisfy... Today, the financial industry is changing radically. With deregulation, credit unions, banks, and other financial thrifts have entered an era of fierce competition. Consequently, the credit union has made a major commitment to not only serve the membership, but to truly satisfy and even exceed their expectations. 

...our members. AMOCO is a member-owned, cooperative organization. Our members pool their savings together so it may be lent to their fellow members. Our members govern the credit union via a volunteer board of directors, elected by and from the credit union's membership. Our members are the owners - stockholders, therefore every dollar earned by the credit union is returned to our members in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits, and lower fees.
