Loan Services

Managed Risk Lending is Here!

GCU is pleased to offer our members a Managed Risk Lending Program to help as many members as possible obtain credit. We realize that some of our members have experienced some difficulty with their credit in the past, and as a result, we or other lenders may have rejected their loan request, forcing these members to pay extraordinary high rates elsewhere.

The way our Managed Risk Lending Program works is that the rate a member pays will be determined by their credit history. Members with good credit histories will receive our very best rates, some of the best rates offered by any lender.

Other members, who may have had credit problems in the past, will be assigned rates consistent with their credit history. At GCU, we will almost always offer member rates that are lower than elsewhere.

We encourage all of our members to call us regarding our Managed Risk Lending Program. At GCU, we strive to help you obtain credit and save money. If you are not sure what rate you are currently paying another lender, call them first, then call us. WE WANT TO HELP!

Convenient Financing from Select Auto Dealerships

GCU now offers our members convenient financing from select dealerships. How does it work? All you need to do is go to one our select dealerships, find the car you want to purchase, agree on the price with the dealer, and then instruct them that you want to finance with Gulf Credit Union. The dealer will handle all the required paperwork without you having to make a trip to the credit union.

GCU recognizes that auto purchases are normally done on weekends; therefore, we designed our convenient financing from select dealerships with you in mind. Finally, the best part of this convenience is that as members, you will be guaranteed to receive our same lobby loan rate with your personal managed risk rate.
