LGE Community Credit Union | Diversity Employer

Our Mission

LGE Community Credit Union is dedicated to the health and advancement of members' financial lives and its communities.

Our Story

In 1951, seven Lockheed Georgia employees dreamed of a better way to bank and LGE Community Credit Union was born. Today we serve communities in Northwest Georgia as a not-for-profit financial institution. Unlike a bank, whose profits go to its shareholders, our profits go to our members in the form of better rates and lower fees. We are guided by a strong commitment to provide a better financial future for our members.

The LGE Difference

We are a not-for-profit, member-owned financial institution with a strong commitment to the local community. Profits made by LGE are returned back to the members in the form of better rates and lower fees. LGE is governed by a volunteer board of directors who are also members of the credit union.

What does “LGE” stand for?

When LGE expanded our field of membership to the community, we wanted to retain the historical component of our brand and decided to keep the Lockheed Georgia Employees portion of the name as simply "LGE." While we started as Lockheed Georgia Employees' Federal Credit Union, today we are proud to be LGE Community Credit Union.

While the letters in our name may retain our history, LGE stands for the future. LGE stands for community. LGE stands for you.

Culture of Collaboration and Commitment to Community 

The LGE Community Outreach Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 2010 as a way for LGE Community Credit Union to give back to the community. The Foundation, which is based on the credit union principle of "people helping people," represents the giving spirit of the employees of LGE Community Credit Union.

Annually, the LGE Foundation leads a fundraising campaign with the goal of helping give back to the communities we serve. Employees participate in "Foundation Fun Days" to support local non-profit initiatives and make donations via payroll deductions. 

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

LGE Community Credit Union is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion. LGE is dedicated to creating an inclusive workspace where employees feel valued, included and respected for their individuality.
