Home About GECU ABOUT GECU For more than 88 years, the people of the El Paso community have been helping each other achieve their dreams of starting a successful business, owning a home and creating a strong foundation for future generations. And they've done it all by following the credit union's people helping people philosophy. In 1932, 11 El Paso civil servants pooled $5 each to form a credit union. Today, GECU is the largest and one of the strongest locally owned financial institutions in the city we call home with more than 400,000 members, 30 branches and more than $3.5 billion in assets.
