Funding and Accessing Maturing Funds
CSR stated that easiest way to fund a CD is through a transfer from a Mobility savings account. Mobility CU participates in the CO-OP Shared Branch network, which makes depositing funds relatively easy.
There is a ten calendar day grace period before any Mobility CU CD automatically renews. Maturing funds can be distributed by check or deposited into a Mobility CU savings or checking account.

In 1965, 14 employees met in the Dallas IBM facility’s lunchroom, collected $150, and founded the IBM Southwest Employees Federal Credit Union. As the FOM grew and diversified, the name was changed to YOUR Credit Union, as a “better reflection of the Credit Union’s strategic vision.”
With the advances in technology, which redefined banking convenience, along with a growing and younger mobile society, we determined that a new name was needed to convey our capability to meet the dynamic changes taking place in the market place. In 2014, we changed our name to MOBILITY Credit Union. The name depicts our ability to enable members to conduct banking transactions from anywhere and at any time, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.
Mobility Credit Union is currently the 84th largest credit union in Texas, with nearly 17,000 members and assets in excess of $226 million.
