Membership

Who We Are

The Gallatin Steam Plant Credit Union was chartered in 1957 to serve the financial needs of its members. Members are made up of annual employees of the Gallatin Steam Plant in Gallatin, Tennessee, and their families.

What’s So Special About Credit Unions?

Unlike other financial institutions, a credit union is owned and run by its members. Members make up the board of directors, who manage and elect the officers to handle the business and operation of the credit union. Members make up the credit committee which decides on loans that are made. Members make up the supervisory committee which makes sure the credit union is run correctly. 

Are you getting the idea that it's the members who make the credit union special? That’s absolutely right! Our members are joined together by a common bond and will serve only our members. There are no outside stockholders. All net earnings after expenses are paid out to our members in dividends. That means your savings grow faster!

Is My Money Safe?
