Credit unions are member-owned, not-for-profit financial institutions that provide many of the same financial services that banks do, including checking, savings, loans, mortgages, credit cards, home equity loans, and much more. However, they are uniquely different because any money made by the Credit Union is returned to its members/owners in the form of dividends and lower interest rates.

For over 45 years, Credit Union of Georgia has been a part of the north metro Atlanta community. Credit Union of Georgia is one of the most stable financial institutions in the nation, according to Bauer’s Financial Reports - an authority on financial institution stability.

As a state chartered credit union, Credit Union of Georgia is strictly regulated by the Department of Banking and Finance and the National Credit Union Administration, an agency of the U.S. government and insured by the National Credit Union Administration, NCUA.
