Our Story
Built by the Community, for the Community
Gateway Federal Credit Union was founded in 2005 by a group of 200 dedicated community members who believed that everyone deserved fair access to financial services — regardless of income or background.
Today, with over 45,000 members and $28 million in assets, we remain guided by those same cooperative principles: people over profit, community over shareholders.
