Since 1977, First Service Credit Union has been the financial backbone of Houston’s working families, educators, healthcare professionals, and small business owners across Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties. Today, the First Service Credit Union digital fortress delivers military-grade, encrypted access to your complete financial empire—from everyday checking and high-yield savings to ultra-competitive auto loans, first-time homebuyer mortgages, and full-scale business treasury management—all unified under one secure, member-owned platform. With over $1.8 billion in assets and 130,000+ members, First Service Credit Union combines Texas-sized service with cutting-edge technology, offering real-time control, predictive AI insights, and zero-compromise security across iOS, Android, and desktop environments.
Born in Houston in 1977 to serve employees of the Spring Branch ISD, First Service Credit Union has grown into one of Texas’s most trusted financial institutions, now open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in the Greater Houston area. The First Service Credit Union online and mobile banking portal is the culmination of over four decades of member-first innovation—delivering a secure, bilingual (English/Spanish), fully compliant digital gateway that empowers members to manage personal checking, youth savings, auto refinancing, jumbo mortgages, and commercial lines of credit with unmatched speed and precision. Unlike big banks, First Service Credit Union operates as a democratic cooperative: every member is an owner with voting rights, profit-sharing dividends, and access to exclusive community reinvestment programs that have distributed over $12 million in local scholarships and small business grants since 2015.
First Service Credit Union integrates enterprise-grade financial instruments directly into its member portal, enabling split-second execution and forensic-level oversight. From Zelle®-powered instant payments to AI-validated mobile check deposits and dynamic card controls, every tool is designed to accelerate your financial goals. Members can deposit checks up to $50,000 via smartphone, transfer between internal accounts with zero latency, and set custom spending limits by merchant category—all within the secure First Service Credit Union ecosystem. The platform also supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, with real-time push notifications for every transaction.
The First Service Credit Union digital onboarding process is engineered for speed, security, and simplicity. New members can join online in under three minutes using a driver’s license or state ID, selfie verification, and a $5 opening deposit into a Prime Share savings account. Once verified, you gain immediate access to the full First Service Credit Union suite: mobile app with Touch ID/Face ID, web portal with dark mode, and 24/7 virtual assistant “FSCU Helper.” Existing members can link external accounts via Plaid, set up recurring transfers, and activate e-Statements—all without ever leaving the First Service Credit Union platform.
First Service Credit Union operates on a zero-trust security architecture backed by annual SOC 2 Type II audits, 24/7 dark web monitoring, and partnerships with Fortinet and Cisco. Every login, transfer, and data query is encrypted end-to-end with 256-bit AES and protected by multi-factor authentication (MFA) including SMS, authenticator apps, and hardware security keys. The First Service Credit Union fraud detection system uses machine learning to analyze over 200 behavioral signals per session, automatically freezing suspicious activity and notifying members via push, email, and phone. All data is stored in Tier IV data centers in Texas with 99.99% uptime.
First Service Credit Union invests over $3 million annually in digital innovation, with quarterly feature releases driven by member feedback collected via in-app surveys and town halls. The 2026 roadmap includes a neural financial advisor powered by generative AI, blockchain-based identity verification, and a small business treasury suite with automated AP/AR and predictive cash flow modeling—all accessible through your First Service Credit Union portal.
