Gulf Coast Educators FCU gives back $2 million loyalty bonus to members

Pasadena, TX (January 27, 2026) |

Gulf Coast Educators Federal Credit Union is proud to announce the distribution of more than $2 million in loyalty bonuses to eligible members, thanking them for their continued trust and support.

 
Following a successful 2025, the credit union deposited $2,016,665 directly into the accounts of 33,164 eligible members as part their Loyalty Bonus program. Individual bonuses ranged from $15 to $285, rewarding members for their everyday banking activity and long-term relationship with the credit union.
 
“As a not-for-profit, member-owned financial institution, our success belongs to our members,” said Eric Stegall, CEO at Gulf Coast Educators FCU. “When we do well, our members do well. This loyalty bonus is our way of saying thank you for choosing us and for helping make our credit union strong.”
 
Payout amounts for each member varied based on their individual relationship with the credit union. Members were rewarded for debit card usage, auto and collateralized loans, personal loans, and real estate loans financed with GCEFCU during the 2025 year.
 
This isn’t the first time Gulf Coast Educators FCU has rewarded members for their loyalty. Including previous years, the credit union has paid out a total of $13.9 million in loyalty bonuses to members. This initiative is something GCEFCU hopes to do every year.
 
“The Loyalty Bonus program is something we are extremely passionate about and hope to continue in the future,” says Stegall. “We have even gone so far as to make it one of our corporate goals.”
