About Us


Serving Baylor and Waco worldwide since 1956!

1st University Credit Union has been helping people achieve their financial goals since 1956 when the president of Baylor University wrote a letter to the Texas Credit Union Department requesting a charter for a credit union to serve the employees, students, and alumni of Baylor and their families. Today, the full-service credit union continues to serve the Baylor and Waco community by providing financial services and products to meet modern demands.


Like All Credit Unions, 1st University Credit Union is a Not-for-Profit Financial Cooperative

When you join the credit union, you become a shareholder — or an owner — of a very unique financial institution. Earnings above the required reserves are returned to you, in the form of lower interest rates on loans and competitive dividends on savings.

We are owned and operated by our members. We exist solely for the purpose of serving our members' best interests.


Vision Statement

Deliver a lifetime of trusted, caring, and personal financial services to an inclusive community.


Mission Statement 

Equip our members with safe, secure, and convenient financial services that empower them to reach their financial goals.
