How Do I Join?
It's simple! If you live or work in Jefferson, Hardin, or Orange County you may join Gulf Credit Union. To join GCU, you must first open a regular savings account with a deposit of $5.00, immediately you are considered a member and are eligible to take advantage of all the services offered by GCU. Once you've completed the membership agreement, make a check payable to yourself for $5.00 (an additional $50.00 if you're also opening a share draft account), make photocopies of two IDs (preferably a driver's license and work ID), and return everything to GCU. You can bring the membership agreement to any of our four locations, located in Groves, Beaumont, Bridge City, or Mid County, or mail it to us. Sign up today and experience first-hand why credit unions are becoming stronger and more popular than banks.
The "Share" Concept
As a nonprofit cooperative, GCU offers membership "shares" to you in the form of savings deposits. The earnings on your savings are called dividends (interest). Based on the credit union principle of equality, each member has one vote, regardless of the balance (or number of shares) in his or her savings account.
Once a Member, Always a Member
Once you join GCU, you can remain a member for life, even if you change jobs or move away. That way, you and your family members can continue to enjoy the benefits of a credit union membership.
