Austin, May 12, 2026 – Greater Texas|Aggieland Credit Union has promoted Lisa Back, CFO, to Executive Vice President.

Her leadership has reshaped key parts of our business and strengthened our foundation for future growth.”

Her career includes a distinguished 13-year tenure at Bank of America, where she served as Senior Audit Director and Senior Vice President. She also held leadership roles as Senior Vice President and Controller at CitiCapital and Executive Vice President and CFO at Velocity Credit Union. .
Back holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in accounting from the University of Texas at Arlington and graduated with honors from the Bank Administration Institute’s executive banking school at the University of Wisconsin. In the community, she serves on the finance committee for Austin Habitat for Humanity and volunteers with organizations such as Ronald McDonald House and Any Baby Can.
