Receiving no data when testing bound text - angularjs

Question

I have searched high and low for an answer to this question, but I could not find one that works in my instance. I am currently trying to test that some text is bound correctly (I can see it), but I cannot get the actual text when testing. Below is some code.
<h3>Borrowing Potential: {{$ctrl.borrowingPotential.value | currency}} as of
{{$ctrl.borrowingPotential.timeStamp | date:'MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a':EST}} EST</h3>
__
fit("should have a borrowing potential calculated", function () {
var tab = element(by.css('[ng-click="$ctrl.setSelectedTab($ctrl.tabs.summary)"]'));
tab.click();
var parent = element(by.tagName("member-summary"));
var borrowingPotential = parent.element(by.tagName("h3"));
expect(borrowingPotential.getAttribute("value")).toContain("Some Text");
});
Essentially, I click a tab which displays a custom component called "member-summary", then I attempt to access that element via web driver. It is the only instance of member-summary on this page. However, when I access either parent or borrowingPotential, getText() returns an empty string, and getAttribute returns a null type.
Note: I have also attempted to access the binding directly, again with no results. This does not work because the binding is not considered a child of the parent element (https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/3147).
How can I get that text and then test that it displayed is correct?
As requested, below is the html from the Chrome debugger. As you can see, the bindings have been replaced with text.
<h3 class="ng-binding">Borrowing Potential: -$48,939,539.14 as of 01/01/0001 12:00:00 AM EST</h3>

Based on your provided info you should only retrieve the text of the h3-element because it isn't an input-field. You can use getText() for it. Your code would be like this
fit("should have a borrowing potential calculated", function() {
var tab = element(by.css('[ng-click="$ctrl.setSelectedTab($ctrl.tabs.summary)"]'));
tab.click();
var parent = element(by.tagName("member-summary"));
var borrowingPotential = parent.element(by.tagName("h3"));
// Replace the `getValue()` with `getText()`
expect(borrowingPotential.getText()).toContain("Some Text");
});
