Attention Valued Shell FCU Members!

Shell FCU members falling victim to Digital Banking compromises. Fraudsters are calling and texting members while spoofing our official (713) 844-1100 phone number. Do not respond to these texts or calls. Delete the text or hang up immediately. NEVER share your Digital Banking credentials and avoid disclosing personal information with unsolicited callers or texters claiming to be Shell FCU. We will never do this. If in doubt, call Shell FCU at (713) 844-1100. If YOU call us first the number cannot be spoofed, and you know you will be talking to a Shell FCU employee.

Become A Member

The ground work for chartering Shell Federal Credit Union occurred January 25, 1937 at 8PM in the Shell Oil Refinery Clock House. The organizational meeting was attended by 40 employees of Shell Oil Company.

In attendance were G.V. Carroll of Texas Company Refinery, H.S. Bragg from the downtown office and Shell Oil Refinery Manager, Mr. Mullemeister. Mr. Carroll and Mr. Bragg shared their experience of the Credit Union with the group in attendance.

A fee of $0.25 was set for each person present who wished to become a member. All forty employees present at that first meeting joined the organization. The first official meeting of the Shell Employees Credit Union, Charter No. 1941, was held on February 4, 1937.
