Military service members, veterans, and their families sacrifice so much for our nation. At Gesa Credit Union, we believe in giving back to those who’ve given so much. Our Veteran and Military Banking Benefits are designed to provide financial solutions tailored to the unique needs of service members, whether they’re active-duty, retired, or transitioning to civilian life.
In today’s world, where economic uncertainty, rising costs, and global conflicts dominate headlines, military families need reliable financial partners more than ever. Gesa Credit Union stands as a trusted ally, offering exclusive benefits that go beyond traditional banking.
Military life often means frequent moves—sometimes across the country or even overseas. This can make managing finances challenging, especially when dealing with multiple accounts, changing state laws, or accessing funds while deployed.
Gesa Credit Union’s nationwide ATM access and online/mobile banking ensure that service members can manage their money seamlessly, no matter where duty calls.
Deployments bring added stress, and the last thing service members should worry about is their finances. Gesa offers:
- Deployment savings accounts with competitive rates
- Fee waivers on certain transactions during active deployment
- Power of attorney assistance for managing accounts while away
Leaving the military is a major life change, and financial readiness is key. Many veterans struggle with adjusting to civilian finances, from securing loans to building credit. Gesa provides:
- VA home loans with low rates and no down payment requirements
- Financial counseling for veterans navigating post-service life
- Exclusive discounts on auto loans and personal loans
Active-duty military, veterans, and their families can enjoy Gesa’s Heroes Checking Account, which includes:
- No monthly maintenance fees
- Free checks
- Reimbursement for out-of-network ATM fees
- Early direct deposit access
Buying a home is a major milestone, and Gesa makes it easier for veterans with:
- Competitive interest rates (often lower than conventional loans)
- No private mortgage insurance (PMI) required
- Flexible credit requirements
Whether purchasing a new car or refinancing an existing loan, Gesa offers:
- Special low-rate auto loans for military members
- Gap coverage included in financing
- Flexible terms to fit any budget
Understanding money management is crucial, especially for younger service members. Gesa provides:
- Free financial workshops on budgeting, investing, and credit building
- One-on-one financial coaching
- Resources for military spouses managing household finances
Gesa doesn’t just serve military members—we actively support them. Our initiatives include:
- Hiring veterans and providing career development programs
- Sponsoring local veteran events and fundraisers
- Partnering with military nonprofits to address housing and employment challenges
From fighting for better VA benefits to supporting legislation that protects military families, Gesa advocates for policies that improve the lives of those who serve.
"After years of renting, I thought buying a home was out of reach. Gesa’s VA loan specialists walked me through the process, and now I own my first home with a payment lower than my rent!" — Sgt. Mark T., U.S. Army (Ret.)
"With my husband deployed, managing our finances alone was overwhelming. Gesa’s financial coaching helped me create a budget and save for our future." — Jessica R., Navy spouse
As the financial landscape evolves, Gesa remains committed to innovating for military members. Upcoming enhancements include:
- Expanded digital tools for remote banking
- Enhanced cybersecurity to protect against fraud
- More partnerships with veteran-owned businesses
For those who’ve served our country, Gesa Credit Union is more than a bank—we’re a financial partner dedicated to your success. Whether you’re on active duty, transitioning to civilian life, or a veteran building your future, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
