Scam Alert! We have had reports that members are receiving phone calls from a spoofed number that appears to be us, asking for their full debit or credit card number. This is not us. As a reminder, we will never call or text you to ask for your card or account number, Online or Mobile Banking credentials, or any other personal information. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be us and you are unsure, hang up and call us directly.

Are you or someone you know a current college student or high school senior? If so, GECU is here to help with a couple of different scholarship opportunities. Click here for additional information!

Please plan to join us for the 90th Annual Meeting on Saturday, March 7th, at the Stern Center in downtown Rock Island. The meeting will start promptly at 6:30 pm with dinner served immediately after. RSVPs are due by February 28th.

We still have some 2026 calendars available! Pick one up next time you're in, or give us a call and we'll mail one to you. Calendar choices this year include Baby Farm Animals or Glorious Getaways.

Please note that the Credit Union will be closed on Monday, January 19th, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Available NOW—myPic Studio—allows members to customize their GECU debit card! You can choose an image from our gallery or upload your own pictures to display your kids, pets, favorite vacation spots, and photography skills. Learn more about myPic Studio here!

Please be aware that we have a new check provider, and orders may look slightly different. The MICR line (the line of numbers at the bottom of the checks) will differ from the previous checks you have ordered. If you have any questions about the checks, please feel free to call us.

Love GECU? Why not share us with your family and co-workers (within our select employee groups)? Plus, when you refer a member to GECU, you BOTH receive a gift! We are offering a $50 bonus to new members AND the members who refer them! Here’s how it works: Use a Referral Rewards card, or simply have the new member tell us you referred them when they join. When they join and open a checking account with direct deposit, you’ll both be rewarded with $50 cash into your accounts! See who is eligible to join here.
