Our Mission
Greater Kinston Credit Union was established by Mr. Charles E. Sanders and Mr. W.F. Grice, Jr. in 1952. The credit union was established for the purpose of assisting the undeserved and has since then been focusing on meeting the needs of its members.
The credit union is a full service financial institution offering a variety of loans and deposit accounts.
