AUSTIN, Texas-- With mascots dancing, cheerleaders cheering and the Dragon drumline roaring, A+ Federal Credit Union, the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce and Round Rock High School cut the ribbon celebrating the opening of the CU’s newest branch. The A+FCU branch is located in the new 1200 building at RRHS that now serves as the school’s front at 201 Deep Wood Drive. The facility offers its own separate entrance from the public to utilize, as well as a special counter for students and staff at the high school.
The branch employs three high school interns from RRHS, who will receive school credit and pay for their work. The interns are responsible for providing onsite financial services to peers, faculty and staff members, as well as community members. A supervisor from the A+FCU Round Rock branch oversees office operations and conduct account opening and loan processes.
As part of the partnership, A+FCU will establish a scholarship program for RRISD students and provide a microloan fund for the entrepreneur class. Additionally, A+FCU has incurred the costs associated with the finished branch area within the school and the necessary equipment for its operations.
