Why it pays to be a member

More reasons to love your membership

Keep more of what you earn

Competitive rates and lower fees mean more money for you. That's why we've eliminated non-sufficient funds fees and continue looking for ways to help members save. When your financial institution puts members first, every dollar can go a little further.

Access your paycheck faster

Why wait for payday? Members with direct deposit can access eligible funds up to three days early. It's just another way Global helps your money work harder for you and gives you greater flexibility when you need it most.

24/7/365 member support

Questions don't keep business hours, and neither do we. Our U.S. based 24/7/365 Member Service team is here whenever you need support, whether it's a quick question, account assistance, or help navigating your financial journey.

ATMs wherever life takes you

With access to more than 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs and convenient digital banking tools, you're never far from your money. Whether you're at home or on the go, Global makes managing your finances simple.

Why Global?

From our Alaska roots to our global reach.

Founded in Anchorage in 1948 by civilian employees of the Alaska Air Depot, Global Credit Union began with people pooling their savings to help one another build lives in Alaska. That spirit still guides us today as a member-owned credit union with military heritage, Alaska roots, and a growing footprint serving members across the country and on military bases overseas.
