LAKE JACKSON, Texas–Texas Dow Employees Credit Union (TDECU) said it has entered into an exclusive partnership to become the official credit union of the NFL’s Houston Texans.
Through the partnership, the Texans will provide unique benefits to TDECU employees and members, and improve the lives and financial well-being for community partners, the credit union said.
In addition to being the exclusive and official credit union of the Houston Texans, TDECU said it will also be the Texans’ official “Redzone Partner.” Every time the Texans reach the redzone during the regular season, TDECU will donate to the Houston Texans Foundation to benefit a community partner, starting this season with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston.
The Texans and TDECU said they will also host an annual Financial Wellness Night for the Redzone Community Partner each year to help further financial education and wellness in the community.
“We are proud to partner with the Houston Texans, who share our interest in giving back to the communities we serve,” said TDECU President/CEO Isaac Johnson. “Through this partnership we will continue to help people navigate their financial journeys.”
Children Given Savings Accounts
The Houston Texans and TDECU’s first joint community effort took place at Houston Texans Training Camp on August 6 when the two organizations hosted 10 children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston. TDECU presented savings accounts with a donation to each child, which the Houston Texans Foundation will match.
According to the credit union, The Texans will also promote Texans Checking, presented by TDECU.
“The benefits of enrolling in a Texans Checking account include co-branded debit cards and checks, Texans Team Shop discounts, opportunities for game tickets, VIP experiences, player meet & greets, autographed memorabilia and more,” TDECU said.
On-Site presence at Games
The $4-billion TDECU will also have an on-site presence at Texans home games, where they will assist fans who wish to enroll in Texans Checking or learn more about TDECU’s products and services.
