Our Mission

LGE Community Credit Union is dedicated to the health and advancement of members' financial lives and its communities.

Our Story

In 1951, seven Lockheed Georgia employees dreamed of a better way to bank and LGE Community Credit Union was born. Today we serve communities in Northwest Georgia as a not-for-profit financial institution. Unlike a bank, whose profits go to its shareholders, our profits go to our members in the form of better rates and lower fees. We are guided by a strong commitment to provide a better financial future for our members.

What does “LGE” stand for?

When LGE became a state-chartered credit union in 2008 and opened our field of membership to the community, we wanted to retain the historical component of our brand and decided to keep the Lockheed Georgia Employees portion of the name as simply “LGE.” While we started as Lockheed Georgia Employees’ Federal Credit Union, today we are proud to be LGE Community Credit Union.

The LGE Difference

We are a not-for-profit, member-owned financial institution with a strong commitment to the local community. Profits made by LGE are returned back to the members in the form of better rates and lower fees. LGE is governed by a volunteer board of directors who are also members of the credit union.

While the letters in our name may retain our history, but LGE stands for the future. LGE stands for community. LGE stands for you.

Commitment to Community

Since 2010, LGE has invested over $1.75 million in the lives of those in the community including children, homeless, abuse victims and those that fall on hard times. Not only is there a monetary contribution but LGE staff members volunteer over 2,600 hours in the community annually. Additionally we partner with schools in the local communities through our Partners in Education platform. Continued efforts show why LGE Community Credit Union continues to be a fabric of the community.
 

Working at LGE

2020 AJC Top Workplace For eight years in a row, LGE was recognized by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as a Top Workplace (2013–2020).

The evaluation is based purely on the results of an employee survey. Companies are ranked according to the ratings that employees give them based on the principle that employees are the best judging panel.

“We are honored to receive this honor for the past eight years,” said Carol Wagner, Senior Vice President/Chief Administrative Officer at LGE. “Not only does it indicate that our employees are treated well, but it gives our members confidence, knowing that they are dealing with a company that is admired from within.”
