Join us for our Annual Ice Cream Social on Friday, June 5th, at our main office in Rock Island! We will be serving up ice cream with your choice of toppings between 11 am and 3 pm. We will have a tent set up in the parking lot, so you can take one to go, or hang out a bit and be social. Either way, we hope to see you then!

We are proud to announce that we have just paid back $250,000 to our members! This dividend was equally distributed to our borrowers and savers- $125,000 as a consumer loan interest rebate and $125,000 as a bonus dividend. Since 2014, we have paid nearly $1.5 million in bonus dividends back to our members! We believe that when we succeed, our member-owners should be rewarded. It’s just another way GECU stands out and once again proves that it genuinely pays to be a member
