69-year old Toys 'R' Us was once the mecca of kids' gifts. But it was eventually overtaken by Walmart and ultimately Amazon. In its fight to stay relevant, Toys 'R' Us amassed $5 billion in debt. That came from slashing prices, signing major, exclusive licensing deals with toymakers and buying up other toy giants FAO Schwartz and KB Toys over the past decade. This past week Toys 'R' Us filed for bankruptcy. There is a generational moment of inflection occuring. If you don't believe me, ask the giraffe.

Grow Financial FCU in Tampa has filed suit in federal court against GTE Financial, alleging a former employee conspired with GTE to steal private information from the credit union, including trade secrets and private member information. So much for those cooperative principles. I don't know the outcome of this case, but I DO know that Credit Unions compete with one another. And to quote Brad Hamilton Class of 1983 at Ridgemont High, "Know it, Learn it, Live it."

San Antonio Credit Union has a new name: Credit Human, represents a new way to express our faith and belief in people and our mission to improve the lives of those we serve.

Our roots in San Antonio run deep.  We were founded here, way back in 1935.  Today, by always putting our members first and staying true to our San Antonio values, we’ve grown to do business across the country.  In fact, more than a third of our members now live outside the state of Texas.

Because we believe what we call ourselves should be a reflection of what we value – believing in people and the power of what they can achieve by working together – we are now Credit Human.  And that belief extends to every member we serve, no matter where they live or where they do business.This name, Credit Human, will be a constant reminder of our roots and who we will continue to be – a cooperative of responsible savers and borrowers who believe in our power to change lives and communities for the better.  Richard Rodriguez - Chair-Board of Directors
