Recently some members have reported receiving fraud alert texts asking them to verify a Zelle® transaction for a large amount. This fraud alert is NOT from the credit union.

LGE continues to diligently review and update our health and safety protocols to address developments as they emerge as it relates to COVID-19.

Following guidance from the CDC, Georgia Public Health and the State of Georgia, LGE no longer requires masks to be worn by employees, members, or visitors at our locations. Additionally, LGE continues to promote safety and wellness for employees, members, and visitors with the Synexis BioDefense System in all LGE branches, plexiglass dividers at service stations, social distancing, encouraging the use of appointment scheduling, maintaining additional cleaning measures, and more. 

Funding for the Paycheck Protection Program is now exhausted. The SBA is only offering PPP loans originated by Certified Development Companies (CDCs), SBA Microlenders, Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), and Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs) until May 31, 2021. LGE does not fall within the categories as listed above and therefore is no longer able to accept PPP loan applications. 

Please visit the SBA website for additional information.

LGE recently announced that Dansby Swanson, professional baseball player and Atlanta-native, will serve as a spokesperson for the credit union through an official, multiyear endorsement. The official endorsement comes as the next natural step in Swansons relationship with LGE, where hes been a member since 2012.

LGE was recently honored by the Credit Union National Assocation with two awards for its 2019 marketing efforts.

Effective June 1, 2020, LGE Branch and Contact Center hours will be changing.

LGE recently provided lunches for local heroes, hosted an internal food drive to support local organizations, and surprised students with scholarships.

Just because our 2020 seniors are graduating virtually doesn't mean we can't (safely) celebrate our 2020 scholarship winners! With a little help from our friends at the different school districts, we were able to surprise this year's scholarship recipients.

LGE Community Credit Union is dedicated to the safety, health and well-being of our communities.
