REMODEL OF ALDINE BRANCH InvesTex is pleased to announce that our Aldine Branch Lobby is slated for an extensive remodeling project. The remodeling project will include new private teller stations and a more open lobby. The new design will create a better member experience and align the Aldine location with other existing branches. This project will begin the first of July 2016 and will take a few months to complete. We apologize for any inconvenience the Aldine Branch remodeling project may cause. We are confident that the changes will enhance your credit union experience. We look forward to serving you - with more comfort and privacy when the remodel is completed.

Members Matter My supervisor tried to talk me into joining a credit union for years, but I kept putting him off. One day I had a $1,500 check that I wanted to deposit where I wouldn’t touch it, so I came here to open a savings account. While the MSR was opening my account, they told me they could save me money by refinancing my car. It took less than 30 minutes, my interest rate went from 18.5% (American Credit Acceptance) to 2.9% and I saved $100 per month on my payment. These are the kind of stories we here at InvesTex love to hear and why we love coming to work every day – making a difference in people’s lives. InvesTex provides exceptional member service and always looks for every opportunity to “make life better” for each member that comes through our doors. 6 • InvesTex News Member, Jeffrey C.

Be sure to take advantage of the tax free weekend in August. Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on August 5th-7th this year - the state’s annual tax holiday. As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend. Layaway plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday. You can find further details online at: window.state.tx.us. Let InvesTex Credit Union help you save even more.
