Experience "
The Authentic Difference At Your Credit Union
Thursday, October 20, is International Credit Union Day, and this year's theme, "The Authentic Difference," highlights the
international credit union operating principles. These are the nine fundamental truths that set a credit union apart from
other financial institutions: A credit union is democratically controlled, with membership open to those specified in its
charter and doesn't discriminate. It's financially stable, dedicated to serving its members and distributes profits to
members, not just a few shareholders. Credit unions cooperative with other cooperatives, strive to be socially responsible
and are committed to ongoing member education. Your credit union is not just a friendly place to borrow and save; it's
these principles that differentiate us from a bank or a payday lender and why you belong at the credit union. So join in the
celebration and experience "The Authentic Difference" the credit union can make in helping you secure your financial
future.

If the ups and downs of the stock market are leaving you a little queasy, here's some
relief: A Share Certificate from the credit union. Your funds are insured and you are
guaranteed not to lose principal. With a Share Certificate, you earn more interest than
deposits in a share account in exchange for agreeing to keep the certificate for a certain
term. If you cash in the certificate prior to its maturity,
you will have to pay an early withdrawal penalty. But if
you ladder your certificates, you can usually access money
if you need it. need the money, you can use the funds
instead. You work hard for your money; make it work
harder for you with a Term Share Certificate from Gulf
Coast Federal Credit Union.

Need A Notary? We're Here To Help
Many legal documents require your signature to be witnessed by a notary in
order to help protect against fraud. A notary public is licensed by the state
and notarization is a way to ensure it's, in fact, you signing documents. For
example, a power of attorney, which gives another person the ability to act
on your behalf requires notarization. So does an advanced directive or
living will. This document explains what medical treatments you want or
don't want in case you are unable to communicate your wishes to a doctor yourself. It relieves a burden for
your loved ones, who may not know your instructions. You'll also want the protection of notarized signatures
for any long-distance agreements you enter into cases where you and the other signer are not in the same
place at the same time. If you are looking for a notary, look no farther than the credit union. It's just one more
way we're here to help ensure your well-being.
Maturity is the stage of life when you
don't see eye to eye, but can walk arm
in arm.
