Our Bright and Sunny History

Gold Coast was formed on January 11, 1936, as the Palm Beach County Teachers Federal Credit Union and was located at Twin Lakes High School in West Palm Beach. Volunteers ran the credit union on a part-time basis. The initial services offered were payroll deducted savings accounts and small loans. At the end of the credit union's first year of operation, it had $461.03 in assets and 149 members. Since then, Gold Coast has remained committed to addressing the needs of members through enhanced products and services, living up to the reason why coming to the coast indeed provides more.

Fast forward nearly 90 years later, today Gold Coast stands tall as a notable community leader, outstanding employer, and responsible financial partner serving over 20,000 members. It's always a sunny day at Gold Coast!

What is a credit union?

A credit union is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. Profits generated out of a credit union are returned to its members in the form of better dividends on savings products, lower rates on loans, fewer service fees for overall account maintenance, and an ongoing commitment to product/service enhancements with personalized service.
