On August 19th, Allen Sunrise Rotary Club was delighted to welcome Scott Bolton, Community Engagement Officer for Credit Union of Texas (CUTX). Scott shared the rich history of CUTX. CUTX was founded nearly a century ago in 1931 by a visionary group of Dallas teachers, and he highlighted the credit union’s evolving commitment to North Texas. Rotarians learned about CUTX’s significant presence right here in our backyard, including the transition of key corporate and technological infrastructure to the Allen area, positioning the organization at the heart of our vibrant business community.
Scott detailed the wide range of financial benefits available to CUTX members, from competitive rates and personalized services to community-focused initiatives. A standout moment of the presentation highlighted CUTX’s pioneering school-based branch model, which famously launched its first campus branch inside Allen High School. This innovative program offers students hands-on financial literacy and real-world employment experience before graduation. 
It was an inspiring look at how a local financial institution continues to invest directly in the future of Allen’s youth and community strength.
