How to read this list.
We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.
A door is headquartered here when its head office sits inside the county line. The rest are based elsewhere and keep a branch you can walk into. We list both, and we label which is which.
Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Aug 2026), NCUA credit union data (Jun 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list (Sep 2026) — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. We refresh each list as its agency publishes. No listing is paid.
This guide helps Hardin County, Texas residents — including solo contractors, small investors, and Spanish-speaking neighbors — understand their personal financing options. It focuses on the local and regional lenders, credit unions, CDFIs, and community programs that actually serve this area. Federal programs like SBA and FHA are included as context. The goal is to help you borrow wisely, avoid traps, and build lasting financial stability in Southeast Texas.

BEST FORA personal loan, or building a credit file from nothing, and buying, repairing or refinancing a home.Everything below is set by Texas, and it reads the same in every county in it. The 5 marks above are this county's own doors — who opens one is decided by them, not by the state.
The rules where you are.
None of this is set by a lender. Texas sets it, and it applies the same in every county in the state — which is why it is worth knowing before you knock on any of the doors above.
- STATE INCOME TAXNone
What the state takes off what you earn, before anyone works out what payment you can carry.
- SALES TAX6.25% state · 1.95% avg local
What you pay on top of every purchase. On a small loan for a repair or a tool, this is a real part of the total.
- MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME$73K
Half the households in the state earn less than this. A lot of the programs above use that number to decide who qualifies.
- COST OF LIVING92.7
National index, where 100 is the country's average. Under 100 means your money goes further here.
