Credit Union News

It’s that time a year again when we often set goals, or resolutions, as we plan ahead for what’s to come! While historically many of our resolutions may fall to the wayside, I want to remind each of you that GSCU is here to help you meet your financial goals throughout your lives. Why not make 2023 the year that GSCU helps those financial resolutions stick all year!   

It’s been a busy year in an economy that has presented challenges for the credit union and its members alike. From gas prices rising, housing inventory hitting new lows, and rates increasing dramatically, it’s been a whirlwind of economic ups and downs and we anticipate more to come as we approach 2023. 

Sunshine, warmth, summer vacations, ice cream, and all the little things that make this time of year so amazing are finally here! While summer is our busiest time at the credit union, it is also one of the most wonderful times because we get to do so many fun things for our members, communities, and in our own lives as well!

In 2021, GSCU continued to navigate challenges presented by the ongoing pandemic and its impact upon business operations across all industries. With a comprehensive business contingency plan in place, GSCU ensured that branch drive-ups remained open to serve our members’ needs. And GSCU also realized tremendous growth, new opportunities and positive trends this past year!

We’re heading into our busy season at the credit union and I am excited that we are doing so with open lobbies, some great new staff, and awesome opportunities for our members!

While drive-up only service allowed us to remain open throughout the last few months, even with staffing difficulties, we are happy to have so many new team members joining the credit union and helping us welcome you back at each of our locations. Thank you to our members for your patience as we navigated these challenging times. Please stop by to say hello to our staff, hear about new opportunities, and complete your banking needs in-branch once again.

2021 was a challenging yet exciting year. We appreciate your membership and support as we continue to look ahead to 2022 and beyond.  

I want to thank you for your patience and kindness towards our staff during 2021 as we managed some challenges caused by COVID-19.

I love Fall. I have to be stopped from decorating for Halloween at the end of August. I really enjoy the crisp mornings, pumpkins, autumn décor, and coziness of the season. The changing of seasons isn’t the only reason I love this time of year. It’s also my favorite time at the credit union.

Summer has finally arrived! And after this past year I am sure many of you are excited for warm weather, relaxing days on the lake, long road trips, camping under the stars and other summer fun activities.

Warmer weather is in the air, vaccines are being distributed, and many businesses are opening back up. It’s beginning to look like a beautiful Spring for 2021!

2020 marked the 75th Anniversary of GSCU, and the credit union had plans to celebrate throughout the year. But with the onset of the worldwide pandemic, the credit union was faced with unprecedented challenges. A comprehensive business contingency plan, already in place, allowed GSCU to swiftly shift to a pandemic business-model. This ensured we could continue to keep branches open and serve our member’s financial needs.
