NGCU receives credit union accolades

     North Georgia Credit Union (NGCU) was recently honored by the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates as the 2022 Credit Union of the Year for the state of Georgia in the category for up to $100 million in assets.  
     Financial institutions recognized as the LSCU Credit Union of the Year demonstrate the all-around best the industry has to offer.  
     NGCU has accomplished outstanding achievements in the areas of daily operations, financial prowess and community outreach.
      “I am extremely proud of our team at NGCU, and the role that each person here has played to help us achieve this honor once again,” NGCU president/CEO Brian Akin said.
    “Everything we do at our credit union, we do it for the right reasons. Whether it’s giving a member a hand-up, planning for the credit union’s future, investing in the communities we serve, or operating in an efficient, transparent manner, we strive to always do our best each and every day,” he said.
    “While upholding our mission of ‘Helping People Afford Life’ is not at all about winning awards, it is certainly gratifying to see our credit union recognized for the work that we do,” Akin said.
     North Georgia Credit Union’s goal is to improve the financial well-being of its members and help them afford life.  
    NGCU also strives to be a good corporate citizen by offering college scholarships, sponsoring local charities and events, and supporting the schools in the communities they serve.
