Chocolate Bayou Community Federal Credit Union has come a long way since its humble beginnings on July 13, 1962. That’s when seven chemical company employees had the foresight to obtain a federal charter to form the Monsanto Chocolate Bayou Federal Credit Union. The credit union’s stated purpose was to promote thrift among its members by affording them an opportunity to “accumulate their savings and to create for them a source of credit for provident or productive purposes.”

Today, Chocolate Bayou remains a financial force in Brazoria County with $65 million in assets and almost 17,000 members.
