Loans and eligibility
Not yet verifiedWe could not read the website listed for this lender on 3 Nov 2026, so we can't list its loan products, sizes or service area yet. That doesn't mean it lacks them. Check hotfcu.org or contact the lender directly.
Questions to ask when you contact them
We have no details from their website yet, so these are the basics to ask any lender. Something missing here does not mean they don't offer it: ask.
- What kinds of loans do you make, and which one fits what I need?
We have no loan details from their website. - Do you lend where I live, or where my business is?
- How do I become a member, and is there a fee or a minimum deposit?
Credit unions lend only to their members. - What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
- What interest rate and fees should I expect? For a personal, car or home loan, ask for the APR.
- What documents will you need from me, and how long does a decision usually take?
Write down the answers, who you spoke to and the date, and ask for the terms in writing before you sign.
CDFI Fund awards
CDFI Fund database, 3 Nov 2026$475,000 in 2 awards from the U.S. Treasury's CDFI Fund, 2022–2024 (CDFI Program, Financial Assistance; CDFI Program, Technical Assistance).
| Round year | Program | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | CDFI Program, Financial Assistance | $350,000 |
| 2022 | CDFI Program, Technical Assistance | $125,000 |
These are awards and investments made to the institution itself to build its capital and capacity. They are not loans to borrowers, and an award does not mean the lender has money available for a particular loan today.

How it compares
Computed from public data| Measure | This lender | Compared with |
|---|---|---|
| Total assets (Call Report, 30 Jun 2026) | $54.6 million | Larger than 14% of the 14 other certified credit unions in Texas (median $191.6 million). |
| Loans as a share of assets | 74% | Median of the same 14 credit unions: 74%. A higher share means more of its balance sheet is lent out. |
| Loans held, 30 Jun 2025 → 30 Jun 2026 | $42.7 million → $40.4 million (-5%) | Median change of 14 other certified credit unions in Texas: +5%. Rank by loans held among these 15: 13 → 13. |
How these comparisons were worked out
| Measure | Peer group (this lender left out) | Peers | Where this lender sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Call Report total assets | other certified credit unions in Texas | 14 | larger than 14% |
| Loans held then vs now | certified credit unions in Texas reporting both dates | 14 | rank 13 → 13 of 15 |
“Larger than X%” = the share of the peer group with a smaller value. Ranks count from the largest. Peer groups use the lender's home state when it has at least 5 peers, otherwise the whole country. Full definitions: methodology.
For comparison, not an offer and not a rating. Past records show what this lender did, not what you would be offered. Peer groups and sources: methodology. Assets and loans: FFIEC and NCUA Call Reports (see the loan-mix section).
