Chief Information Officer | Profile |
For over 80 years the people of our communities have been helping each other make dreams come true. In 1932, 11 El Paso civil servants pooled $5 each to form a credit union. Today GECU is the largest and one of the strongest locally-owned financial institutions in the city we call home with more than 340,000 members, 18 branches, and over $2 billion in assets. Becoming a GECU member is easy. You can join if you live or work in El Paso County, Hudspeth County or Doña Ana County not more than 25 miles from our 1500 North Resler Branch. To establish your membership, you must open, deposit and maintain $20 in a GECU Share Account. That represents your share in GECU.

We`re GTE Financial, a credit union that`s going beyond money. Since 1935, we`ve been serving Tampa Bay, offering a wide variety of financial products and services from low-rate credit cards to insurance to smart home loan solutions! But, we`re more than just dollars and cents. While some banks measure success in what they earn, we measure success in a different way. It`s about what our members earn, their financial achievements and the value we can provide that matters most.
Since our founding in 1934, we have been singularly focused on one thing: providing world-class personal service and financial security to our Members. This isn`t just something we say—everything we do, every decision we make, is with an unwavering commitment to serving the best interests of our Members. Although we offer the same products and services as other financial institutions, our structure and culture are vastly different. Banks are for profit, while credit unions are Member-owned financial cooperatives, meaning our excess earnings are returned to our Members in the form of lower rates on loans, higher rates on savings, low-to-no fees, and many complimentary services. We take to heart the “people helping people” philosophy, the principle on which credit unions were founded. Pledging ourselves to this idea not only means our steadfast dedication to Member service, but also actively supporting the communities we serve through events, donations, scholarships, and financial literacy programs. Consumer Reports recently published findings from a study they`ve been conducting since 2012 to rate “key aspects of customer service care” across 22 industries. Credit unions were rated the best industry with a score of 90 out of 100. And, SchoolsFirst FCU ranked the best among all credit unions nationwide. We serve school employees and their families across the state of California. As the largest education-based credit union in the U.S., and the fifth largest credit union by asset size, our financial stability can be attributed to one thing: continually providing our Members with world-class personal service to help them better their financial lives.
