Truity Credit Union
Truity Credit Union was founded in 1939 by the Jane Phillips Sorority in Bartlesville, OK. Mildred Hunt was the first treasurer and she conducted credit union business at her desk in the pipeline department at Phillips Petroleum Company during her lunch break and after hours. At that time a single quarter opened a savings account which allowed members to obtain unsecured loans up to $50. From these beginnings we have developed into a full service financial institution offering checking accounts, savings accounts, auto loans, home loans, credit cards and more. Today our branches and offices provide service to members in our communities of Bartlesville, OK, Lawrence, KS., and Houston, TX. As we continue to grow we know it is important to be accessible and are committed to serve our members' needs in person and through our extensive suite of online services. Truity Credit Union stands squarely on our credit union’s foundation of Trust and Integrity. The Credit Union reports to its members, not shareholders looking to make a profit. Any profits we make are returned to our membership by providing lower loan rates, higher dividends, and lower fees. We promise to treat everyone with respect, to be accurate and secure with member information, and make it easy for all to do business with us. Join Truity Credit Union, a Better Way to Work.
