On Saturday, December 7th from 9 am until noon, we will once again be transforming the Credit Union into the North Pole. Santa will be here for pictures and of course, gift requests. We will also have some Holiday crafts, and maybe even some treats! In addition, kids can make a deposit into their account that day and get a Holiday gift bag full of goodies. Plan to stop by and see us (and Santa)!

We are committed to offering our members the tools and resources to help you reach your financial goals. That’s why we are now offering MoneyEdu– a free financial wellness program. With MoneyEdu, you can: Access articles, videos, and other educational content, set financial goals and track your progress, use financial calculators for loan payment, savings goals and more, create a budget and track spending, take online courses on helpful financial topics and earn certificates, track your financial health over time, and much, much more! We would love for you to check it out now. Registration isn’t necessary to access many of the tools, but if you create an account in October, you’ll be entered to win a $100 Visa gift card! Plus, creating an account to login allows you to track your progress!

It's Credit Union month and in theme with the “People Helping People” philosophy, we’re making it a win-win-win situation! When new members join us in October, they will be entered into a drawing for $100 cash. Refer a member in October and you’ll be entered into a drawing to win $100 as well. In addition, the new member drawn will also get $100 donated to the charity of their choice! This offer is available to all members who join or refer a new member to the Credit Union between 10/1/24 - 10/31/24. See the Credit Union for complete details and membership eligibility.

In the spirit of “People Helping People”, we will once again host our annual food drive for the River Bend Food Bank during the month of October. If you would like to donate, please feel free to drop off donations at the Credit Union during regular business hours. Most needed items currently include: peanut butter, cereal, canned meats, tuna, soups, chili, stews and canned fruit. These items are simply suggestions, any and all donations would be appreciated.

Please note that effective October 7th, our Moline Branch hours will be Wednesday through Friday 9 am to 4 pm. Please keep in mind that KONE Employee’s Credit Union, which shares the Moline Branch office with us, will be offering Shared Branching services. Meaning, if you come in on a Monday or Tuesday or before or after our new business hours, they will be able to assist you with any GECU transaction as normal. We appreciate your understanding.

Saving money is easy with our NEW Change Cup Savings Program! With Change Cup, all purchases made with your debit card will be rounded up, with the difference being deposited in the savings account of your choice. For instance, if you make a purchase for $2.50, Change Cup will round up the total and 50¢ will be transferred into savings. Change Cup is an easy way to effortlessly build your savings, whether it be for an emergency savings account, a vacation fund or Christmas Club. If you are interested in enrolling in this program or would like more details on how it works, stop by or give us a call.

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.
