Speak up and let your voice be heard!

 
In the midst of the 20^th century’s Great Depression, 10 city employees in El Paso came together to join the credit union movement. In November of 1936, each of the founding members gave just five dollars and hoped they’d be able to provide better financial opportunities to those who had been underserved. Today, EPEFCU continues to serve as a financial foundation to over 40,000 of its members and it has extended its services to anyone who lives, works or worships in El Paso County.

This year marks the beginning of our 75^th anniversary and we’re transforming our organization in order to meet the needs of this ever-changing, technology based world. Technology affects nearly every aspect of our lives, especially the face and the pace of business and it has inspired new strategies and revolutionized our research-and-development process. Some of our innovation initiatives include mobile banking, online account opening, and soon, eChecking accounts.

Our future generation consists of young adults who have grown up with personal computers, cell phones and the internet and are now taking their place in a world where the only constant is rapid change. According to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, young adults between the ages of 18-29 are more likely than older adults to say technology makes life easier and brings family and friends closer together.

 In today’s globally competitive market, banks everywhere are creating new ways to make banking easier and faster. Your Voice, Your CU is a team of carefully chosen peers between the ages of 18-35.
