History


STAR Financial Credit Union is a full-service Credit Union that offers products and services that benefit our members in Nueces County.


STAR Financial Credit Union, formerly known as Pontiac Employee Federal, was founded in 1959 to provide quality financial services for the employees of Pontiac Refinery, which later became CITGO Refinery. Including 5 name changes, a lot has changed over the last 65 years by expanding the companies in our field of membership. What started out in a little office on the grounds of the refinery has grown to two full-service office locations with over 3,000 loyal members.


STAR Financial Credit Union is mission driven to creating lifelong relationships with our members through exceptional service and financial products.


The STAR Financial Credit Union vision is to become our members’ preferred partner for their everyday financial needs.
