1935
On February 23, 1935, 196 employees of Shell Petroleum Corporation and Shell Pipe Line Corporation, joined together with $5 each to establish Shell Employees Federal Credit Union. The employees contributed a total of $980 in assets since deposits were limited to $200, and loans to $50.
1971
Shell Employees Federal Credit Union relocates our headquarters to Houston.
2001
Mr. William Henry Oatis, former CEO and Board Member, retires after 31 years of service. Angela McCathran accepts the position of CEO/President of Shell Employees Federal Credit Union on March 2001.
2005
Shell Employees Federal Credit Union changes our name to People’s Trust Federal Credit Union and expands our membership to the City of Houston.
TODAY
By expanding our products and services to the City of Houston, we have grown our membership and asset size considerably– we’ve come a long way since $50 loan limits.
In 2016, People's Trust was recognized by the Credit Union National Association for providing over $4.2 million in direct financial benefits to nearly 30,000 members (at that time). That equates to saving members approximately $272 per member household and $823 for loyal, high-use member households.
Even through expansion, our focus has always been to provide high-quality financial products and services. As we grow, we want our members to do the same, which is why helping members financially prosper is our goal.
