CEO & President’s Message July 2026

Dear Members,

As summer continues, I hope you're finding time to enjoy the longer days with family and friends. For many, it's also a season of new beginnings as campuses across Texas welcome students and families, preparing them for a new school year and the countless opportunities ahead.

For 90 years, it's been our privilege to be part of these moments. What began by serving a university community has grown into lasting partnerships with many Texas higher education institutions. Along the way, we've seen that college is more than the start of an academic journey. It's the beginning of important financial firsts, from opening a checking account and creating a budget to building credit and planning for the future. While these moments may seem routine, they often become the foundation for lifelong financial success.

Each year, during orientation, our employees meet and support thousands of students, faculty, staff, and families. Throughout the year, they provide meaningful financial guidance, serving with knowledge, empathy, and care. Every interaction reflects our commitment to putting Members first and ensuring each Member feels supported wherever they are on their financial journey.

Whether you're preparing for your first semester, supporting a student, or working toward your next financial goal, thank you for the trust you place in UFCU. We're grateful to be part of your journey and look forward to serving you through many milestones to come.

Warm regards,
Michael Crowl
