Financial Wellness with GHS
Certified Financial Counseling is part of our mission to bring the credit union movement forward and offer accessible banking and financial wellness to our neighborhoods. No matter your personal or financial situation, our coaching and support is open and free to all GHS members and community.
Our goal is to provide accessible guidance and assistance to those in need of financial services but are unable to obtain them due to numerous situations such as unexpected life events, low credit score, insufficient funds, and the like.
Sometimes it is difficult for those most in need to get to us for help. In addition to offering services at our branches, our financial counselors visit local organizations to meet those in need where they are. Through sponsorships and community partnerships, GHS is bringing financial education to our community.
Financial counseling from GHS is customized to your exact situation, and you will always work with a local counselor that is dedicated to helping you to establish a stronger financial foundation. As GHS continues to grow in our mission of serving the underbanked, new products and services are being developed to offer those in need the assistance and tools to achieve financial wellness and stability.
