Here’s why banking is better at a Credit Union!Unlike other financial institutions‚ credit unions are owned by the people who do business with them. The Board of Directors is democratically elected from among the members‚ and each member is entitled to one vote—regardless of the amount on deposit with the Credit Union. Credit unions are not-for-profit and there are no outside stockholders. That means all excess profits are returned to the members in the form of higher savings rates‚ lower loan rates and lower fees for services than most other financial institutions. Credit unions are well-noted for the high level of service provided to their members—and GPOFCU is no exception!GPOFCU offers a wide variety of services‚ designed with you in mind.

We welcome you to GPOFCU. Once a member‚ always a member. Our Mission StatementTO DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE, BUILT ON TRUST, WHILE MEETING THE PRIMARY FINANCIAL NEEDS OF OUR MEMBERS. Your Credit Union Funds are Secure!Your deposits at the GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE FCU are safe and secure. Member deposits in federal and almost all state chartered credit unions are federally insured by the NCUA, through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). NCUSIF is in strong condition, secure, well-capitalized and backed by the full-faith and credit of the United States Government. Consumers who have federally insured funds in credit unions should rest assured that their deposits (all types of share accounts, including regular shares, share drafts, money market accounts, and share certificates) are safe up to at least $250,000.00 per account. You may obtain additional separate coverage on multiple accounts, but only if you have different ownership interests or rights in different types of accounts and you properly complete account forms and applications. For example, if you have a regular share account and an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) at the same credit union, the regular share account is insured up to $250,000 and the IRA is separately insured up to $250,000. However, if you have a regular share account, a share certificate, and a share draft account, all in your own name, you will not have additional coverage. Those accounts will be added together and insured up to $250,000 as your individual account. Use this NCUA Estimator to determine your credit union share insurance coverage. The National Credit Union Administration is the independent federal agency that regulates, charters and supervises federal credit unions. NCUA, with the backing of the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, insuring the deposits of all federal credit unions and the overwhelming majority of state-chartered credit unions. How is a credit union different than a bank? Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their members. Like banks, credit unions accept deposits, make loans and provide a wide array of other financial services. But as member-owned and cooperative institutions, credit unions provide a safe place to save and borrow at reasonable rates.  Member-OwnedYOU ARE MORE THAN A MEMBER,YOU ARE PART OWNER.Credit unions are owned and controlled by the people, or members, who use their services. Your vote counts. A volunteer board of directors is elected by members to manage a credit union. NOT-FOR-PROFITCredit unions operate to promote the well-being of their members. Profits made by credit unions are returned back to members in the form of reduced fees, higher savings rates and lower loan rates. MembershipMembers of a credit union share a common bond, also known as the credit union’s “field of membership.” You may be able to join based on your:
Many employers sponsor their own credit unions.
Most credit unions allow members' families to join.
Many credit unions serve anyone that lives, works, worships or attends school in a particular geographic area.
Membership in a group, such as a place of worship, school, labor union or homeowners' association may qualify you to join. CooperativeThe cooperative structure of credit unions creates a cycle of mutual assistance towards the common goal of the financial well-being of members. One member’s savings becomes another member’s loan. Connect
Can credit unions seize your money?The short answer is YES under the right of setoff if you owe that same bank or credit union on a credit card or loan.
Is your money safer in a credit union or a bank?Are credit unions safer than banks? No. Accounts in banks and credit unions are both insured for amounts up to $250,000 via either the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) for banks or the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for credit unions.
Can a credit union account be seized?If the court rules in the creditor's favor, an order of account garnishment is sent directly to your bank or credit union. Judgment creditors often win orders of wage garnishment because people don't show up to court.
How secure is my money in a credit union?Like banks, which are federally insured by the FDIC, credit unions are insured by the NCUA, making them just as safe as banks. The National Credit Union Administration is a US government agency that regulates and supervises credit unions.
