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.

In 1998, a group of businessmen met to discuss the formation of a new bank in Bartow County. That meeting would eventually lead to the formation of Century Bank of Georgia. The organizing directors felt that Bartow County was in need of a new, independent community bank; owned and managed by directors and officers right here in our local community. After receiving approval to proceed from both the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the new bank met its capital needs in a matter of months. The Board of Century Bank decided on a headquarters site to be located at 215 East Main Street in Cartersville, demonstrating the bank’s commitment to Bartow. Land was acquired in Calhoun, Georgia for the first non-Bartow County branch office, and in March 2007, the Calhoun Office was opened at 415 West Belmont Drive. Century Bank of Georgia continues to be a strong, stable and secure financial institution. In November 2011, Century Bank of Georgia purchased certain assets and assumed deposits of Community Bank of Rockmart headquartered in Rockmart, Georgia thru a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC. The bank’s senior management continues to lead the bank with the vision of providing the most convenient delivery methods for quality banking services for our clients; making prompt, local decisions; providing comprehensive financial resources to small business owners and entrepreneurs.
