About
Father Edward J. McCarthy established Guadalupe Credit Union in 1948, for the purpose of serving the parishioners of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Santa Fe. In the 1970's, GCU merged with St. Anne's Credit Union as well as with Health and Environment and Human Services Credit Union, and in 1985, Guadalupe Credit Union merged with Cristo Rey Credit Union. This merge expanded GCU's field of membership to a large portion of the community of Santa Fe. As a result, the Board of Directors applied to the State of New Mexico to have the charter expanded to include anyone living or working in Santa Fe County.
