Bank Overview

Delta Credit Union, or Delta Community Credit Union, was founded by eight Delta Airlines employees with a combined capital of just $45. It was meant to serve as a not-for-profit method of helping their peers reach financial success.

The Union has become Georgia’s largest credit union and strives to share the benefits it gains from its customers with the surrounding community. They state those eight employees, who founded the Union, as their inspiration. 

The Delta Credit Union has a number of community investment initiatives. These include their activities with local chambers of commerce, schools, and charitable organizations. They take every opportunity to funnel proceeds from business back into the communities they serve.

They currently work to support the Children’s Miracle Network. They do this through their relationship with Credit Unions for Kids. The Delta Credit Union is a philanthropic fund, which enables them to enter into mutually beneficial relationships with the communities they represent.

Delta Credit Union offers both in-person and online services and its CDs have very high annual percentage yields. For this reason, the Union feels it has found the best combination of sustainability and profitability for its customers and clientele.
