CG Credit Union in 8th
District Expands Access
The Reserve and Auxiliary forces, located within the
8th Coast Guard District, can now access the services of
the Coast Guard Employees Credit Union (CGECU). The
credit union was recently granted approval to expand
membership to both Reserve and Auxiliary personnel
living within the boundaries of the district.
The CGECU has served employees, active duty, and retired
employees/military of the USCG since 1950. With 65 years
of service to such individuals and their immediate family,
the credit union hopes this expansion provides another
choice for both Reserve and Auxiliary individuals located
within the district.
The credit union is a non-proft fnancial institution.
All deposits are insured by the National Credit Union
Administration Insurance Fund (NCUA) to at least
$250,000 and backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States Government.
If you are interested in joining or have questions, visit
the CGECU web site at http://coastguardecu.net/ or call at
(800) 772-6163.
