This summer, you can take a break from car payments when you get a new auto loan or move an existing auto loan from another financial institution to the Credit Union. This promotion is available until July 31st, and it allows you to enjoy 60 days without payments. *See Credit Union for complete details. 

Ready for a getaway? We are here to help you out! With a vacation loan from the Credit Union, you may now borrow up to $2,000 for 18 months at a low, fixed rate of just 9.90% APR*. To apply for a vacation loan, simply call one of our loan officers, stop by, or apply online now. Hurry though, as this offer is only available until 07/31/26. *APR=Annual Percentage Rate. Subject to credit approval.

We like to encourage saving money year-round, but we like to add some extra incentives in the summer with our Youth Summer Saving Program. Here’s how it works: The goal is to encourage kids to save at least 3 times during the summer (June 1st-August 31st). The first and second time they save, they will receive a fun summer-themed surprise. The third time, they will earn a $5 gift card to Whitey’s Ice Cream! Teenagers can still participate, but instead of receiving a prize, they will be entered into drawing for a $100 Visa gift card each time they save! If your child hasn’t opened their own account at the Credit Union, now is a great time to join. We can’t wait to see ALL of our young savers in the Credit Union this summer!

Please note that the Credit Union will be closed on Friday, June 19th, and Saturday, June 20th, in observance of Juneteenth.

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

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!

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.
