Peach State offers membership to the employees of our sponsor Boards of Education and many select employee groups and associations. Membership is open to immediate family and household members of eligible individuals. Our Mission As a financial cooperative, it is our mission to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of our member-owners. The Credit Union Difference Credit unions are committed to service and have been since their beginning in 1852. The credit union concept is a simple one: People working together and pooling their savings to create a valuable credit resource not otherwise available to them. These guiding principles of the early credit union movement are still alive today. Credit unions may look like banks in many ways, but their primary purpose – service to members – hasn't changed. Part of this service is taking credit union profits in excess of expenses and reserves, and returning them to members. This is done in the form of lower loan rates, higher savings rates, and lower fees. It is what makes credit unions different and sets them apart from other financial institutions. It is what makes a member more than just a customer. It is people helping people. #asmartplacetobank This credit union is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration.
