Discover What Sets Georgia United Apart

“
In the early '70s, the credit union extended to me – a single woman under 30 – a mortgage that allowed me to buy a rundown house in the City of Decatur. That house is long paid for and worth a lot more in this rejuvenated town. Back in those days, no other financial institution would consider helping. I will always be grateful!

I just wanted to let you know that I’m in awe of Georgia United! I spoke to you ten days ago about applying for a HELOC and today we closed on it at the Stockbridge branch. This was the EASIEST and best thing I could have ever done! Every Georgia United employee we dealt with along the way, was very helpful, prompt, kind and a joy to deal with.

Every interaction I had with associates has been very positive for years!!! Never been disappointed. My recent home loan closing experience was perfect. The seller commented on how professional and on point the loan staff were.
