GESA High School Credit Union Program

Puyallup School District is excited to announce a community partnership with Gesa Credit Union, a collaboration aimed at empowering our students with essential financial education and hands-on experience in the real world of finance. This partnership aligns with our commitment to student development, nurturing academic excellence and practical life skills. 

Gesa Affinity Debit Card Program 

The Gesa Affinity Debit Card Program offers a straightforward way for students, parents, alums, and community members to support the Puyallup School District. Every time you use your Gesa Affinity Debit Card for daily expenses, you are supporting our educational initiatives. This is an effortless way to make a meaningful difference in our schools without any additional cost. Through the use of a co-branded debit card, members can raise funds for Emerald Ridge, Puyallup, Rogers, and Walker High School, in addition to Puyallup Digital Learning. Proceeds will go towards each school’s academic, athletic and extracurricular programs.

Through our partnership with Gesa, students at Puyallup High School will soon operate their very own credit union branch-kiosk, offering essential credit union services without occupying a large amount of space at the school. This high school credit union is the first of its kind in PSD and is run under the guidance of experienced teachers and Gesa’s Education Team. The High School Credit Union Program is designed to integrate with the existing curriculum and provide a practical application of classroom learning. 

This student-run branch-kiosk will be open during lunch periods, offering a realistic banking atmosphere right on campus. Students and staff will have the convenience of accessing their accounts and performing basic transactions in a setting that mirrors a true credit union environment. This provides our students with valuable financial industry experience and enhances their understanding of money management—a critical skill for their future. 

The district plans to open student-run branch kiosks at additional schools in the future.
