The Credit Union as an Employee Benefit

It's a Risk Free Benefit

Credit union service is one of the most popular fringe benefits you can offer your employees. Although employees often consider credit union membership a company benefit, credit unions are self-supporting and operate independently. There is NO financial risk to your organization.

Encourages Financial Stability

A credit union is a not-for-profit, financial cooperative owned by its members. Members have benefited significantly from the credit counseling and consumer education provided free of cost. The credit union aims to help its members to build their credit and achieve financial stability.

Complements the Benefit Package

Regardless of the size of your company, you can offer credit union services. There are more than 12,000 credit unions throughout the country, serving more than 67 million members.

Credit union services often complement the benefits already offered by your organization. The savings, loans and transaction services provided by a credit union can be an excellent addition to your insurance, stock - option and profit - sharing plans.

Simplifies Payday

Credit unions offer payroll deduction and direct deposit. These are two of the most popular services that the credit union provides. They allow employees to save regularly make loan payments and any other regular payments they may make directly from their accounts. Servicing payroll deduction is simple and economical for your organization. Payroll deduction is not mandatory but, it is easy and convenient.

What to Do to Join

Your Organization

If you are interested in credit union membership for your organization, you can write a letter of request to the credit union asking that we expand our Field of Membership to include you. Once this request is received, we will present it to the board of directors and the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance for approval. A Sample Letter of Request is provided for you.

Your Employees

Once your company becomes a part of our Field of Membership, your employees can sign up for membership. Credit union bylaws require all members to open a basic savings account and maintain a a minimum balance of $25. This $25 remains in the members savings as long they maintain membership with the credit union. The savings account permits access to any of the credit union products and services. Credit union deposits/savings (called shares) represent member ownership in the credit union. The credit union is also open to immediate family members and people dwelling in the same household. Once an individual becomes a member they can remain members until they close their account regardless of where they work or live.
