Our History

On November 30, 1937, five (5) City of Greensboro Employees chartered Greensboro Municipal Credit Union. Our first location was a lockbox and ledger in the finance department at City Hall. Our first loan given was $50 to either Walter Purvis, a janitor, or Walter Blue, a secretary who would eventually become Executive Secretary of GMCU for 44 years!

Fast forward to the 1980s, and GMCU offered Mastercard Credit Cards, IRAs, and Certificates for the first time to it’s members. The 1990s brought even more growth with Share Draft (Checking) accounts and Financial Wellness Partnerships with local businesses and organizations.

In 2006, GMCU expanded to its second branch at Soabar Street. Greensboro Municipal converted to a federal charter in 2011, becoming Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union. In 2018, we opened our third branch at the Renaissance Center on Phillips Avenue. Throughout the 2000s and into the 2020s, we have grown into a modern full-service co-operative financial institution that serves City of Greensboro employees and beyond with over 60 community-based Select Employee Groups, the Underserved Greater Greensboro Community, and Friends of the Foundation members. This means anyone can become a Revity FCU member!

In April 2024, we changed our name to Revity Federal Credit Union. After 87 years, we wanted a name that was inclusive and reflective of our entire membership. The name Revity itself is a testament to our shared journey of revitalization and community. Revity FCU aims to empower our community’s financial health and foster togetherness like never before.
