Account Security Tip

LGE representatives will NEVER call, email, or text you asking for personal information (Social Security Number, PIN, account number, card number, password, username or one time passcode). If you receive a suspicious call, email, or text, even if it appears to come from LGE, immediately contact us at 770-424-0060 for verification.

Fee Schedule

As a credit union, we keep our fees to a minimum to cover our costs.

Remember, we have no stockholders to draw profits and our board of directors is composed of volunteers. So we pass that savings directly on to you in the form of lower fees, higher earnings on your deposits, and lower interest on loans.
