Youth Savers
Thank you to our young members who participated in the National Youth Savings Challenge during National Credit
Union Youth Week, April 20-26.
We asked these youngsters what they are saving for and here is what a few of them told us:
- Future
- School/College
- Volleyball shoes

Our Mortgages Are Safe
The news is full of stories about the subprime mortgage crisis. We want to assure you that GHCU and our mortgage loans are sound. We only make conventional, conforming prime mortgages and do not have any investments backed by subprime mortgages. GHCU invests its excess funds in high quality U.S. Government and U.S. Agency securities and investments offered through the credit union network. We know the money we invest is our members' money and we treat it with the greatest care.
If you, or someone you know has been affected by prices, values, rates, or a combination of all three GHCU could be the answer. We offer several options to help you get a mortgage you can afford.
If your adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is a little more adjustable than you'd like consider refinancing
to a fixed rate 10-, 20-, 30- or 40-year mortgage.
Or we can help you refinance to a longer-term ARM until you're able to make your next move.
Whether you're looking to refinance or purchase a house all GHCU mortgages are safe and are offered with no processing fees, no prepayment penalties, and the fast, professional service you expect from us. Check out our rates and apply today.
Credit University teaches kids
about money
To help educate high
school students about money management Group Health Credit Union is
partnering with six other credit unions to sponsor Credit
University, a financial literacy program for high school
students. The program teaches kids the importance of saving their
money through pop culture. The results have been
great! Pre- and post-testing of 6,500 Credit University
students in 2006 showed an 11 percent increase in teen savings. GHCU
is pleased to partner with Qualstar, Sound, Watermark,
America's, Seattle Metropolitan and Verity credit unions to bring
Credit University to Washington state students. Listen to a
NPR story on the program here.
