History

In February 1940, Delta Employees Credit Union was organized in Atlanta, Georgia by eight Delta Air Lines employees, each 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.

On March 8, 1990, Delta Employees Credit Union celebrated its 50th anniversary. As part of the celebration, a $50 savings bond was presented to each member in good standing.

In July 1994, the credit union adopted a policy of "Once a member, always a member," thus eliminating the stipulation that an individual had to be an active Delta employee to enjoy the benefits offered by the credit union. Membership was also extended to the parents of active and former Delta employees in good standing. 1995 brought about a couple of milestones for Delta Employees Credit Union. The total number of members eclipsed the 100,000 mark. Membership privileges were extended to include children, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers and sisters of the member and their spouses. In 2001, domestic partners of members were added to the field of membership.

In October 2005, Delta Employees Credit Union became Delta Community Credit Union to signify its new focus on the community while keeping its Delta Air Lines connection.

In 2008, the field of membership broadened to include residents of specific counties and employees of various companies. Assets exceeded $2.8B and membership had grown to over 181,000. Delta Community Credit Union partnered with LEVEL5 to build its 12th branch in Newnan, GA, which had energy-efficient features. In 2010, with over 200,000 members and more than $3B in assets, Delta Community's mission is to provide quality, fairly priced financial services. Mobile Banking was made available to members in early June 2010 which provides the flexibility to complete a variety of financial transactions at any time and anywhere through their cell phone, smartphone or other mobile device.

In 2013, Hank Halter was appointed President and CEO of Delta Community Credit Union and was named one of Atlanta's top 100 leaders in finance by the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

In September 2015, 2016 & 2017, Delta Community was recognized as one of Atlanta's Best Places to Work by the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
