Grand Forks Credit Union

Grand Forks Credit Union (gfcu) is an independent financial institution that has been in operation since 1949. Serving the Boundary region of British Columbia, gfcu manages over 200 millions of dollars through its single branch, and does so with a community first philosophy. This is the significant strategic differentiator between a Credit Union and Bank. That being said, gfcu does strive for financial success, and does aim to earn as much as possible year over year. However, excess profits at gfcu are returned to the members and the community. The members are delivered flexibility, advantageous rates and patronage dividends. While the community is provided with financial investment and support; all of which are focused on building the regions economic strength, and improving quality of life for its residents. Be it the construction of a free family waterpark or providing a commercial loan to a new entrepreneur, gfcu helps residents improve the region. This goes far beyond generating good will and a positive reputation. The fact is that we are a financial institution, so the more successful we are, and more successful our members are, the greater the impact we can have on our region. Our skilled employees offer solutions that can be flexible and outside the box. All decisions are made under our roof, by qualified employees, and decisions at gfcu are not left to a computer software program or centralized head office located somewhere else. The uniqueness of a locally owned and independent financial institution has been realized and is being utilized by millions of Canadians year after year. Clearly stated, gfcu offers its members proactive financial advice by building unique, creative and flexible solutions, and does so while supporting both our members and our community.
