About Us

Our Future Revolves Around Yours

A Petition of Incorporation was filed with the Georgia Secretary of State in December of 1933 by eight gentlemen in regards to the creation of a new credit union in Southwest Georgia. The petition was granted and on February 14, 1934, the Albany Federal Employees' Credit Union was officially opened.

In 2009, the Albany Federal Employees' Credit Union celebrated its 75th anniversary. At the end of our 1st year of existence, we only had 39 members and a net worth of only $837.10. Today, we have over 6,400 members and a net worth of over $40 million, but times are changing and we are as well.

When we were first created, the Albany Federal Employees' Credit Union was a credit union for Federal Employees and their relatives in the Dougherty County area. Over the years our field of membership has grown.  It now includes the following groups:

• Federal and Military employees or retirees in the Southwest Georgia counties of Atkinson, Baker, Ben Hill, Berrien, Brooks, Calhoun, Clay, Clinch, Colquitt, Cook, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Echols, Grady, Irwin, Lanier, Lee, Lowndes, Miller, Mitchell, Quitman, Randolph, Seminole, Sumter, Terrell, Thomas, Tift, Turner, and Worth (the old 316 & 317 zip code area)
