Overview
LGE Community Credit Union serves metro Atlanta and northwest Georgia as a member-owned cooperative offering checking, savings, loans, online and mobile banking. Members join, deposit funds, and use digital and in-person services, with deposits insured by the NCUA and loans issued through member governance. It differs from many banks by being nonprofit and locally focused, with ownership and decision-making shared by members and a commitment to equal opportunity employment. Its goal is to help members manage money, access affordable services, and improve financial well-being in their communities.
