WesTex Federal Credit Union is a federally-chartered credit union headquartered in Lubbock, Texas (routing number 311385948). As a member-owned, not-for-profit financial institution insured by the NCUA, WesTex operates under the cooperative banking model where members are partial owners rather than customers of a for-profit bank.
The credit union offers a comprehensive suite of retail financial products including two types of checking accounts (Basic Checking and Silver Savers Checking for members 55+), savings accounts, term share certificates (CDs), IRAs, HSAs, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. On the lending side, WesTex provides auto loans, motorcycle/ATV/UTV loans, home loans with refinancing options, and personal loans. Members can access accounts through 24/7 online and mobile banking, Apple Pay integration, and mobile check deposit functionality.
WesTex distinguishes itself through listed services like a dedicated Vehicle Center for pre-owned vehicles, affordable motorcycle and powersports financing, and free additional services for its senior checking account holder (free checks, money orders, and cashier's checks). The credit union emphasizes convenience with an online loan application available to both members and non-members, loan calculators, and after-hours customer service.
As a credit union, WesTex is member-focused rather than profit-driven, which typically translates to rate claims to verify and lower fees. However, membership is required to access most products, and as a regional institution, it may have limited branch/ATM networks compared to nationwide banks. The website provides clear product outlines but lacks specific rate information, requiring members to contact the institution directly for current pricing.
