InvesTex Credit Union recently broke ground on a new branch in the Houston Heights area to relocate current operations from its North Loop 610 West location. Construction is slated to be completed by the end of 2010 or early 2011.

"This new branch was designed to represent the future of InvesTex Credit Union" said CEO Keith Kearney, "and future branches will be built with a similar design to promoting the InvesTex brand and ensuring the best service possible for its members."

The $93 million credit union began branching out in 2005 by deploying locations in retail centers throughout its field of membership. InvesTex strategically selected leased property build-outs to inexpensively and quickly enter markets and build demand. Despite the recent recession, Kearney said the credit union is enjoying tremendous success and is surging forward with a total of five branches.
