Bank vs. Credit Union. Why Join Gulf Winds?

We work to help our members. Banks make profits for shareholders.

Our earnings directly benefit you in the form of higher savings rates, better loan rates and lower fees. As a not-for-profit credit union, every member owns an equal “share” in Gulf Winds, regardless of how much money is in your account.

Never once in all my years of doing business with Gulf Winds have I felt like a customer. From the very first day, they made me feel like family and that is priceless. I'm guessing that I recommend Gulf Winds at least once a day.
