GPO’s history began in 1931 when Utica postal employees recognized they had few banking options.

The Great Depression was paralyzing the country. Banks weren’t always the safest option. So, a group of forward-thinking postal employees got together and started the Utica, NY Postal Credit Union.

While the original FOM included only postal workers based in Utica’s Federal Building, it was constantly changing as more companies began to offer GPO membership to their employees. The Credit Union was re-branded as GPO (Government, Postal, and Occupational) in 1984 to better represent the changing FOM. GOP is currently New York’s 41^st largest credit union, with more than 32,000 members and assets in excess of $295 million.
