Delta Community Credit Union, Georgia's largest credit union with more than $5 billion in assets, opened its 27^th branch. Located at 11575 Haynes Bridge Road, the company's Alpharetta branch is its third location in North Fulton County, where the Credit Union has existing branches in Johns Creek and Sandy Springs.

"Since expanding our membership eligibility in 2005 to include individuals living or working in metro Atlanta, we've continued to open branches in key communities to further enhance our service and convenience," said Delta Community CEO Hank Halter. "This new branch enables us to better support our existing members in Alpharetta as well as to extend to others the specialized care and value we offer on critical banking services, including savings, checking, credit cards, car loans, mortgages and long-term financial planning."

At a ribbon-cutting ceremony this morning, Halter welcomed civic leaders and business partners and pledged to continue Delta Community's track record of being a good corporate citizen. "We view it as our responsibility to invest in the communities where we are privileged to operate," said Halter. "As we do elsewhere, we look forward to playing an active role in Alpharetta by providing free financial education opportunities, supporting schools and non-profit organizations and partnering with local chambers and other businesses to foster the greater community good."
