What is the GTE Federal Credit Union?


• The GTE Federal Credit Union is a member-owned and operated credit union located in Tampa Bay, Florida. Founded in 1935, in the midst of the Great Depression, the GTE Federal Credit Union, with over $1.5 billion in assets, presently stands as one of the country’s largest locally owned and operated financial institutions. 
• The GTE Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative; the organization only makes decisions and institutes business models for the benefit of its member-owners. Each individual member of the GTE Federal Credit Union has a stake or ownership share in the cooperative. Any monies earned by the GTE Federal Credit Union are returned to its members in the form of dividends or diminished interest states. 
• All funds deposited at the GTE Federal Credit Union are protected by the National Credit Union Insurance Fund. As a result of this coverage, not one member of the GTE Federal Credit Union, in its nearly 80 years of operation, has lost a single penny of insured savings. 
• In addition to providing financial services–such as low-interest loans, access to checking and savings account, mortgages, credit cards and online banking services–for its members, the GTE Federal Credit Union bolsters the surrounding communities through the funding and establishment of charitable organizations and agencies.
