Wednesday March 18th in a conscious effort to do our part to assist in reducing the spread of COVID-19, at close of business we suspended lobby access at all locations on Wednesday March 18th. We however provided expanded services via the drive thru.

Keeping our staff and their families’ health and needs in mind during this environment:

  • Thursday March 19th, at close of business we temporarily halted operations at three of our branches and provided drive thru expanded services via our main branch in Groves along with phone and email support.
    • This measure protected our staff and also allowed them time to personally prepare.
    • We are working with an essential team of 10 employees’ onsite and several more remotely to assist all of our member’s needs.
    • We continue to disinfect our offices, screen our employees and measure their personal situations.
    • We are working hard to follow the orders from Federal, State and Local agencies.
  • Due to our limited staff, the following service requests will be handled by emailing [email protected] or calling 409-963-1191 during regular business hours:  Mortgage and Business Lending, Wealth Management and Safe Deposit Box access
  • ALL BRANCH LOCATION ATM’S ARE FUNCTIONAL
  • If you are suffering a hardship due to the impact of COVID-19, we are here to assist you.  Please contact us via the indicated methods.

While we realize our decision to only work out of our main location in Groves might be inconvenient for some of our members, please know we are doing this to minimize the spread of the virus and the protection of our staff and their family and our members.  We urge you to continue utilizing our electronic services for all of your financial needs.

Our hopes are that normal operations will resume soon and everyone stays healthy and safe. We appreciate our members and your continued understanding.
