65 years and counting

65 YEARS AND COUNTING – 2017 IS A BANNER YEAR AT TRUWEST

On August 12, 1952, Motorola Credit Union started with just seven members who each contributed $5 to open a savings account. After changing our name in 2002, and now, over 65 years later, TruWest® Credit Union has over 82,000 members and $1 billion in assets.

We’ve come a long way.

Achieving $1 billion places TruWest among the top five percent of credit unions in the country. How did we accomplish this? Through successful organic growth of membership by maintaining a strong financial foundation.

As part of this growth, we have expanded with new locations in both Arizona and Texas and, as of 2017, serve an eligible membership in six major counties. This has made it more convenient for members to conduct financial transactions and has allowed TruWest the ability to reach out to more populations and organizations within the community.

In the last several years, the credit union has focused on expanding its digital capabilities as well, making life more convenient for our members. For example, we have been continually adding innovative features to our online banking platform and have introduced a more contemporary truwest.org website. TruWest’s eBranch also makes it possible for members to apply for loans and credit, make deposits, pay bills and open new accounts whenever and nearly wherever they are.

It’s this kind of innovation, combined with more personal service and lower loan rates and fees than what “big banks” offer that has driven TruWest’s growth.

We will continue to support our members by investing in advanced systems and technologies, enhancing the quality of our services and the products we offer, and committing to improve the communities we serve.

We appreciate all of the members over the years who have contributed toward this landmark in TruWest’s history. We’re thrilled by how far our credit union has come and we’re ready to serve the needs of our members and our community in the future.
