Came to this branch yesterday; spoke to the manager about opening an account. I had such great experience, super helpful and informative. I will definitely be joining the credit union when I become a permanent resident of Georgia.
- Maria S.
I've never belonged to a credit union before, and the experience was much better than the bank I've used for the last 10 plus years...Not to mention the interest rates are great as well.
- Michael M.
The ease of the process of becoming a member, the knowledge, kindness and courtesy of the staff was exceptional! This experience was our best so far out of all our banking relationships! We have already brought family members to become members and we will bring more! Keep up the great work!

This bank has been amazingly helpful from the first day I opened my account.

It was a very rewarding experience and it feels like a family you just become a part of. I matter and that is big.
