How to Join Gesa Credit Union
Credit unions differ from banks in that they restrict membership based on a shared common bond, or the credit union’s “field of membership”.
That means in order to qualify for this bonus (or any offer from a credit union), you'll first need to meet one of Gesa Credit Union's membership requirements:
- Live, work, worship or attend school in the state of Washington or are a resident of select counties in Idaho and Oregon.
- Be a close relative of someone who qualifies as a member
Keep in mind that nearly all credit unions have a "once a member, always a member" policy, so once you're in, the above restrictions no longer apply.
