A little lady with a big dream began a legacy that has lasted for more than 65 years. With the support of Harris County officials and others, Thelma Joyce Alsup—a hard-working employee in the sheriff’s department—established Harris County Federal Credit Union in 1951 with the commitment of providing affordable loans with reasonable interest rates for all county employees. Today, HCFCU serves nearly 19,000 members throughout Harris County with a full spectrum of financial solutions including checking accounts, savings accounts, investments, and competitive lending solutions. It only takes $5 to open an account and once you’re a member, you are a member for life!
