Delta Community Credit Union (www.DeltaCommunityCU.com), Georgia's largest credit union with $4.8 billion in assets and more than 328,000 members, is celebrating its tenth year as a community financial institution. In 2005, the Credit Union broadened its field of membership to include anyone living in metro Atlanta, and rebranded from Delta Employees Credit Union to Delta Community Credit Union.

This expansion enabled the Credit Union to better serve Delta Air Lines employees' long-term interests by expanding and diversifying revenue sources, which strengthened its financial position. It also allowed Delta Community to help consumers across metro Atlanta who previously did not have convenient access to the superior value and service credit unions offer.

In the 10 years since the change, Delta Community has enjoyed greater growth than in its entire first 65 years of existence. Since Oct. 2005, membership has more than doubled, the number of branch locations has quadrupled and employment has grown by more than 160%.

"It has been a remarkable decade," said Delta Community CEO Hank Halter. "By expanding eligibility and diversifying our membership base, Delta Community has ensured financial stability, growth and even greater opportunities to provide superior products and services to benefit all our members."

In addition to meeting members' financial needs, robust growth has allowed Delta Community to increase its support of local communities by investing in programs that foster financial literacy and physical well-being. In 2015, the Credit Union will donate $650,000 to organizations such as Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, schools and other charitable causes that are important to its employees and members.
