About Texas Dow Employees Credit Union
Serving the Texas Gulf Coast, the Texas Dow Employees Credit Union is a small financial institution serving Dow Employees with personal banking and insurance needs, as well as private student loans for college students. TDECU simplifies their private student loans by offering one simple loan both for parents looking to cover the gaps in federal funding and other scholarships, as well as students who are going back to school and paying for it themselves. TDECU is one of the few banks lets you play only interest for an extended period of time (up to 72 months, or while you are still in school), and then an additional five years to pay off the principal.
