Scam Alert: We have been alerted that someone may be spoofing our 1-800-531-2328 and 512-435-4545 numbers to tell members they have fraud on their debit card and attempt to gather personal information. Please remember to not provide any information to someone who calls you and requests personal information. If you're not comfortable with a call you receive claiming to be UHCU, hang up and call UHCU directly. 
At United Heritage, we strive to make the loan process for commercial real estate acquisitions, refinances or expansions easy and convenient. We have an experienced team capable of assessing various property types and delivering prompt service. As a local institution with roots going back to 1957, we don’t send your loan request to an anonymous credit committee in another city or state. All decisions are made locally by knowledgeable staff that are familiar with and have insights into the Central Texas markets. So, whether you’re interested in multifamily, retail, office, medical or industrial property as an owner or investor, give us a call and let us work on a quote today. You’ll be glad you did.
