Welcome
At the George Washington University Credit Union Initiative (GWUCUI), we're more than just a credit union—we're a movement towards financial empowerment and educational excellence, run by GWU students, for GWU students.
Our mission is to provide affordable banking, build credit, and equip students with the financial knowledge and skills needed for success, both academically and professionally.

Financial Literacy Program
We aim to solve a critical problem that our peers face: a lack of financial literacy education and training to manage their personal finances.
Fellow GW undergraduate and graduate students have told us they feel under prepared for the transition to financial independence after graduation.
A lack of financial literacy follows into adulthood, affecting the ability to plan and sustainably spend.
We believe in the power of education to transform financial management skills. Our upcoming curriculum, developed with campus partners, will empower you to understand and master your personal finances.
