Texans Credit Union names Dan Mathews VP of consumer lending

Dan Mathews, a 30-year credit union industry veteran, has been named vice president of consumer lending at Texans Credit Union.

In the newly created position, Mathews will lead the credit union’s direct and indirect loans, as well as loan and title processing. He comes to Texans as the credit union rides a wave of loan growth that over the past two years has surged by 45%, much faster than other similarly sized institutions.

Before joining Texans, Mathews spent 17 years as vice president of lending at Consumers Credit Union in Illinois, where his leadership of all non-commercial lending helped the credit union grow from $400 million to more than $3 billion in assets.

“What I see in Texans is a very strong credit union but one that still has incredible potential for further growth,” Mathews said. “It’s my job to build on the post-pandemic momentum we have generated and do even more to put money into the hands of our members so they can fulfill their dreams of a new or updated vehicle, a destination vacation, or some other personal financial want or need.”

Texans Credit Union serves more than 110,000 members throughout the DFW area. With more than $2 billion in assets, it is one of the largest member-owned financial institutions in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

David Frazier, president of Texans Credit Union, said Mathews’ experience and track record make him a great fit. “We have achieved tremendous gains since 2020 in loans, asset growth, and membership,” Frazier said. “We needed someone who could take those gains and build upon them, and we know Dan Mathews can do that.”

Mathews is a graduate of Louisiana State University, who in his spare time umpires and officiates at high school varsity baseball and football games.
