Texas Dow Employee Credit Union broke ground Tuesday on a new bank at 1514 E. Rio Grande St.
The 4,900-square-foot branch will be a full-service site with tellers, a drive-through, ATM machine and lending services, said Luke Billeri, regional vice president of branch operations for TDECU's west market.
The site will bring 10 to 15 new jobs to the city, according to a TDECU news release.
There are a couple of reasons the credit union chose to expand in Victoria, Billeri said, explaining its positive response by the community tops the list.
TDECU receives about 300 new members a month from the region, he said. With that type of increase, the company had to grow to keep up its service levels.
It chose the site on Rio Grande Street to better serve South Victoria, he said.
The bank currently operates locations at the Victoria Mall and Mockingbird Lane and has a new site for mortgage, insurance and direct-lending services going in on North Navarro Street.
Construction on the new site is slated to begin Sept. 21, according to the release.
The project will cost about $2 million, Billeri said.
That location is slated to open during the first quarter of 2010.
The company is looking forward to the expansion, Billeri said.
"We're just really happy to be in Victoria," he said. "It's really a great community."
TDECU was founded in 1955. It operates 19 service locations and maintains more than 125,000 members, according to the release.

OMG! so cool! I have an account with TDECU and I love it so much! they are very nice and sweet people. I also have a loan with them, and they are never too pushy when my payment as been late before. I will say this is the only credit union/bank that I am happy to pay! haha. Seriously, this is an awesome idea, especially since I usually have to drive all the way over to the mockingbird to make a withdraw or deposit! =D I love TDECU! they really know how to treat their clients, unlike MOST of the banks here in town. JMO.
September 16, 2009 at 9:51 p.m.I have two accounts at the current Victoria Branch on Mockingbird. The people are friendly and courteous.
September 16, 2009 at 8:58 p.m.WHAT IRKS ME IS the CALL CENTER. If you do not go to the local branch and obtain the direct phone numbers, you are connected to the "MAIN BRANCH" in Lake Jackson(?)-as well as having to wait in excess of 3-4 minutes or longer before someone answers. I wish them well. My accounts will remain there until they REALLY P---- me off. Then--my $$$ and I go elswehere.
