GTE Federal Credit Union, doing business as GTE Financial, is an American credit union, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and chartered and regulated under the authority of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). As of August 31, 2012, GTE had 185,890 members.[2]

The organization was founded in 1935 as Peninsular Telephone Employees Credit Union to serve the employees of Peninsular Telephone Company. After Peninsular became part of GTE (now Verizon), the credit union was renamed GTE Federal Credit Union in 1958.[3] Effective August 2012, the credit union rebranded itself as GTE Financial to reflect its status as a full-service financial institution.[2]
