FORT WORTH, Texas — While credit unions in the beleaguered "sand states" are shuttering branches, one credit union here is getting ready to expand its branch network.
"We're actually doing very, very well," boasted Judy McDonald, a director at Tarrant County CU, in Fort Worth, Texas.
The $50-million credit union serves mostly county employees, which have been buffered from the national recession so far, said McDonald. As a result, they are planning to build two stand-alone branches, their first outside of county offices, said the volunteer director.
"This will give greater access to our members," she said.
