In 1929, nine individuals came together and made a commitment to form a credit union for members, by members and with members best interest in mind.

Three days after the chartering documents were signed, what's known as the worst day in stock market history occurred; Black Tuesday on October 29, 1929. Black Tuesday is historically remembered as the day the Roaring Twenties ended and The Great Depression began.

While many financial institutions were closing, Fort Worth Postal Credit Union began and continued in operation through The Great Depression.

In September 1992, Fort Worth Postal Credit Union changed its name to First Class American Credit Union to reflect its expanded geographic membership area. This new name included postal workers and their families, in addition to other individuals within a specified range in Tarrant County. At the time of the name change, First Class American Credit Union had grown from the first founding nine members to approximately 9,800 members.
