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. 

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 we are no longer able to accept payments for Rock Island County property taxes. If you have a mortgage and escrow through us, we can send payments as usual, but we are unable to accept individual payments that are dropped off to 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.

Please note that the Credit Union will be closed on Thursday, June 19th, in observance of Juneteenth. Normal business hours will resume on Friday, June 20th.

Join us for our Annual Ice Cream Social on Friday, June 6th, 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!
