2025 marks 70 years since the first community-based credit union was established in the region. Over that time, communities, streetscapes, and cars have changed, but the commitment to members has remained constant. Goulburn Murray Credit Union (GMCU) continues to provide banking solutions focused on what is possible when a community comes together.
The local team at GMCU has maintained the same dedication and service for decades, supporting members in both everyday banking needs and longer-term financial goals. Being member-owned means the focus is always on the community rather than shareholders, and this approach has helped the credit union grow alongside the towns and regions it serves.
Community, collaboration, and inclusivity have been central to GMCU’s culture for the past 70 years, and these values remain at the heart of its work today. From helping families manage their finances with savings accounts and transaction accounts to providing support through personal loans and home loans, the credit union continues to make a difference in members’ lives.
People looking for a banking option that puts members first can explore the digital banking solutions offered by GMCU, designed to make day-to-day banking simpler. Over the years, the credit union has built a strong reputation for personalised service and a genuine connection with the communities it serves.

As the credit union celebrates this milestone, it continues to focus on providing innovative, practical solutions for members and supporting local communities across the Goulburn Valley.
