History
In February 1940, Delta Employees Credit Union was organized by eight Delta Air Lines employees in Atlanta, Georgia with a stake of only $45 in share capital. On March 8, 1940, Delta Employees Credit Union received a charter entitling it to 20 years of operation. Within a month after its charter was granted, the first board of directors was composed. The board voted that membership was open to all Delta employees. By the end of 1940 assets had grown to approximately $2,000.
In 1960, the board was granted a renewal of the credit union's charter. By 1983, assets exceeded $200M, a first for any credit union in Georgia. Delta Employees Credit Union has been the largest credit union in the state of Georgia since then.
