When I first noticed this credit union, I assumed that it would only be available to Mobil employees. It originally serviced employees of the Magnolia Beaumont Refinery which had been part of Mobil. However, the credit union now has a community charter. Membership is open to those who live, work, worship or attend school in Jefferson, Hardin, Orange, Jasper or Newton counties in Texas. Please refer to the credit union's How-to-Join page for the full details.

Branches are located in the East Texas cities of Beaumont, Jasper and Nederland.
