PrimeWay Federal Credit Union is a federally insured, state-chartered, member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. The credit union was organized in April 1937 as Houston Telephone Federal Credit Union to serve the employees of Southwestern Bell in the Houston area. In April 2003, the name was officially changed to PrimeWay Federal Credit Union. The name change was prompted by credit union growth and diversification of membership. In 2004, PrimeWay Federal Credit Union was granted a community charter under the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). PrimeWay Federal Credit Union serves over 48,000 members and manages assets of more than $429 million.[1] PrimeWay Federal Credit Union operates 9 locations in the Houston area with more than 3,500 Shared Service Centers available to serve its members.

PrimeWay Federal Credit Union is insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), is an Equal Housing Lender and a member of the Better Business Bureau.[2]

Community Involvement

The Houston SPCA

In 2013, PrimeWay Federal Credit Union teamed up with The Houston SPCA to help give orphaned, abused and neglected animals a second chance at life.[3] To further promote the cause, PrimeWay donated over $2,500 to help with the organization’s mission of freeing animals from suffering, abuse and exploitation. PrimeWay also paid the adoption fee for each animal that was adopted during the Adoption Day.[4]

Educator and Student Scholarships

Each year, PrimeWay Federal Credit Union awards $6,000 in scholarship money to deserving students who have excelled in the classroom. PrimeWay offers a $1,500 scholarship to a MyFunds Scholarship applicant and two $1,000 scholarships to exceptional students in Houston, Harris, Fort Bend or Washington County. In addition, one student is awarded the Dale Roberts scholarship worth $2,500.[5]
