[{About}]As a not-for-profit cooperative financial institution, credit unions elect officials who volunteer their time and talent to serve the credit union.
At the heart of the credit union difference is our volunteer board of directors. Unlike for-profit banks, credit unions are governed by members just like you... real people who are committed to bettering your financial lives.
The Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union Board and Committee members are nominated from the membership at large, and voted on by the members at the annual meeting. We are proud to have a devoted group of members serving on the Board. They meet no less than once a month and have a commitment to make certain the credit union provides valuable products and services to our membership.
