Choosing a primary financial institution is an important decision. You want to be sure your deposits are safe, your money is accessible when and how you need it, and you’re getting the best value and service. If this is what you’re looking for, welcome to Group Health Credit Union.

Why choose Group Health Credit Union?
Credit unions such as GHCU are a better kind of financial institution. We're owned by our members to serve our members: when you walk into a branch, you don't get treated like just another customer. You get treated like what you are—an owner in our cooperative enterprise. It also means you get better rates and lower fees than banks since we don't have to pay stockholders. Even better, we're a member of the Better Business Bureau, so you know you're dealing with a trustworthy company.

How do I become a GHCU member?
GHCU is open to everyone in Washington State, and becoming a member is quick and easy:

• Call GHCU at 206-298-9394 or visit one of our branches to open your account. You’ll need to show a government-issued ID such as a driver’s license or passport.
• Deposit $50 in a savings account (or just $5, if you are 18-28). That $50 (or $5) is your “purchase” of member shares; this makes you part-owner of GHCU.

Switching your account to GHCU is easy. Just follow the three simple steps in our Switch Kit!
