The Importance of Small Businesses

Small businesses are the backbone of our local communities. There are many ways that small businesses play a role in a community, including stimulating the local economies by creating jobs, encouraging economic growth, and minimizing the overall environmental impact. Small business overall is booming. In 2023 alone, a record-breaking 5.5 million new business applications were filed. With entrepreneurship on the rise, it’s more important than ever as a locally established credit union to support our home-grown businesses.

Eastex Credit Union: The Best Credit Union for Small Business

Credit unions like Eastex Credit Unions support our local businesses and are perfect for your local banking needs. There are key differences between business banking with a credit union versus a big bank. Credit unions often offer a higher deposit interest rate, competitive lending rates, fewer accounts fees, and more member benefits than big, traditional banks do. Similarly, much like small businesses, credit unions actively engage and support local community initiatives and causes, such as local events, fundraisers, and collaborating with school districts. Credit unions even work together to allow members to thrive! Eastex Credit Union is apart of the Shared Branching Initiative. Check out our list no-surcharge credit unions partners!
