Open an account that pays dividends

Each member of GEFCU initially becomes a member by opening a "share", or savings, account. With a share account, each member becomes a shareholder, entitled to vote in credit union affairs and to receive dividend payments. GEFCU share accounts provide higher returns than most banks' savings  accounts.

Account options that meet your needs

In addition to our basic Share Savings account, GEFCU also offers long-term savings accounts that pay even higher rates, as well as two different types of draft (checking) accounts. GEFCU accounts are tailored to our members' needs. Learn more and open an account at any of our branch locations.
