A New Chapter Will Soon Begin

One Rooted in Our Past & Focused on Your Future

For generations, AFECU has been proud to stand beside you — through milestones, memories, and every moment in between. As your trusted financial partner, we've grown together, guided by the values that shaped us and the community that inspires us every day.

Now, we're preparing to turn the page to an exciting new chapter

Today I am excited to announce the new name and brand identity for our beloved Credit Union – a representation that honors our legacy while reflecting the strength, vision, and unwavering commitment we have to serve you, and our community, even better.

as·pire (verb): to direct one's hopes or ambitions towards achieving something.

Our new name represents our continued commitment to helping our members aspire to the next level no matter what their goals, dreams or ambitions may be. Because for us – your goals are our mission. Your family is our mission. Your future is our mission. Our community is our mission.

And our logo proudly pays tribute to our heritage. Our federal employee founders began the Credit Union in 1952 with just ten postal workers and managed by R.V. Welch, the local postmaster, from his desk in Lufkin, Texas. The mission – to provide a cooperative, not-for-profit financial solution for their fellow federal employees. Throughout our 73 years, we have continued to honor and serve all federal employees, as well as their family members, and more recently expanded our reach to now serve those who live, work, worship, or attend school in Angelina, Tyler, Trinity, Cherokee, San Augustine, Nacogdoches, Jasper, Houston, and Polk Counties.

This change isn't just cosmetic. It's a bold step forward, designed to honor our roots, better represent who we are today, and where we’re headed tomorrow. But rest assured, what matters most isn’t changing: we remain a well-capitalized credit union dedicated to your financial well-being, committed to personalized service, and our deep connection to the membership and community will continue to remain at the heart of everything we do.

Our name and brand change will take place on Thursday, January 8, 2026. We will be planning a big celebration to mark this new chapter, so stay tuned to your email, on our website and our Facebook page as we reveal more details as the date gets closer.

We hope you are as excited as we are about this next level for our Credit Union. We thank our members for their continued trust in us, and our community for their continued support.

Sincerely,
Carla Kelley
President

As of September 2024, AFECU has expanded its membership eligibility to include not only federal employees and their families but also individuals who live, work, worship, or attend school in Angelina, Tyler, Trinity, Cherokee, San Augustine, Nacogdoches, Jasper, Houston, and Polk Counties.

Q: How do I join Angelina Federal Employees Credit Union?

A: To become a member of the credit union, contact the credit union at (936) 632-7691 or (800) 569-9799. You must open a share (savings) account with a minimum of $25 initial deposit. To remain a member, you must maintain a $25 balance in your account and demonstrate regular activity. You will have access to all of our services once you open your share (savings) account.

Q: How long do I have to be a member before I can apply for a loan?

A: You may apply for a loan as soon as you become a member. There are no membership time requirements for loan qualifying.

Q: How do I add/remove a joint member to/from my account?

A: To add a member you will need to complete a new signature card, which you and the joint member sign where indicated. To remove a joint member, all joint members of the account need to agree to the removal, or the account can be closed and remaining joint members may open a new account.

Q: I no longer work for the Federal Government, can I still retain my membership?

A: Yes! “ONCE A MEMBER – ALWAYS A MEMBER” You are still able to continue your membership, regardless of any new profession or where you live.

Q: Can I send an email to Angelina Federal Employees Credit Union?

A: You Should Avoid Sending Personal Information via Unsecured Email:

• Email is not always secure – Standard email is transmitted over the internet without encryption, meaning it can be intercepted and read by unauthorized individuals.
• Risk of identity theft and fraud – Sending sensitive information like Social Security numbers, financial details, or passwords over unsecured email could expose you to identity theft or financial loss.
• Hacking and phishing risks – Hackers often target email accounts, and if personal information is shared through unsecured means, it becomes an easier target for exploitation.

What You Can Do:

• Use encrypted email services – Many email providers offer encryption features (e.g., Gmail's Confidential Mode or Outlook’s encryption options) to keep your messages safe.
• Share sensitive info through secure platforms – For sharing personal or financial information, consider using secure messaging apps, file-sharing services with encryption (e.g., Dropbox or Google Drive), or dedicated portals provided by the organization or service you’re communicating with.
• Avoid including personal details in the subject line – Even if your email is not encrypted, try to avoid including sensitive information in the subject line, as it may be exposed in transit or by email preview features.
If you must send sensitive information by email, be sure to use encryption or passphrase protection for attachments and double-check the recipient's email address to ensure it's correct.

Your privacy and security are important, so it's always worth taking extra precautions when communicating sensitive data. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need help setting up a secure communication method.

Q: Why should I use Direct Deposit?

Safe – Your paycheck is protected against loss or theft.
Worry-free – Now you can be assured that your check is deposited, even when you’re away from home.
Saves time – You no longer have to make special trips to the credit union or stand in long lines on payday.
Convenient – No more waiting for the mailman. Your deposits will be made for you automatically, allowing you to set your own timetable for getting cash.

Q: How do I apply?

A: Our Member Service Representatives have all the necessary forms. If you wish, they will be happy to fill them in for you. All you have to do is tell them how you want your money distributed and sign your name. AFECU will take care of everything else.

Q: How will I be able to keep track of my money?

A: Your check stub from your employer is your permanent record. You may also enroll in online banking to have access to your accounts.

Q: Is there a charge for this service?

A: This service is free to all participating AFECU members.
