Delta Community Credit Union

What Delta Community Credit Union does

Delta Community Credit Union is Georgia's largest credit union, a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative founded on March 8, 1940 by eight Delta Air Lines employees with $45 in capital and now operating with over $8.9 billion in assets and approximately 530,000 members. The institution provides consumer and commercial financial services — including checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, Visa Platinum Rewards and Visa Signature credit cards, mortgage and home equity products, auto loans, personal loans, business banking, merchant services, and commercial real estate financing — to residents and businesses across metro Atlanta's 20 counties. The credit union's product surface is extended by a wholly owned insurance subsidiary (Members Insurance Advisors) offering Mechanical Breakdown Protection, auto, homeowners, and identity protection products, and by referral-based wealth management through LPL Financial and financial counseling through BALANCE.

The company distributes its products through a 30+ branch physical network across metro Atlanta (including two branches inside Kroger stores, locations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the Delta Technical Operations Center, and out-of-state branches in Salt Lake City UT, Florence KY, and Southlake TX) combined with a digital banking platform that includes iOS and Android mobile apps, a separate secure mortgage application portal, Zelle peer-to-peer payments, and Apple/Google/Samsung Pay wallet integration. Revenue is generated through net interest income on the loan portfolio (the dominant stream for any credit union), credit card interchange and interest, transaction fees on ancillary services, insurance commissions via Members Insurance Advisors, and referral fees from the LPL Financial wealth management partnership. New member acquisition is supported by a $250 checking promotion and a $100 refer-a-friend bonus, while community engagement is reinforced by the Financial Education Center (2,000+ workshops, 60,000+ participants since 2016), scholarship programs, and a philanthropic fund that has invested over $1.4 million in metro Atlanta charities since 2014.
