Georgia’s Own Credit Union, recognized as the third-largest credit union in Georgia, announced it will submit a proposal to merge with United 1st Credit Union.
United 1st Credit Union is headquartered out of Kingsland, Ga. and was founded in 1943 to serve the employees of the Kraft Bag Plant. It has since grown to include numerous city and county government groups, as well as many companies, organizations and geographic areas in Southeast Georgia. It currently boasts an asset size of $243 million and serves approximately 26,000 members from six branches.
“It would be an honor to welcome the members and employees of United 1st to the Georgia’s Own family,” said Georgia’s Own president and CEO, Dave Preter. “United 1st Credit Union has a long history of putting their members first and have become an integral part of their community through providing top of the line financial services and meaningful outreach.”
Georgia’s Own plans to retain all employees from United 1st Credit Union. If approved, the transactions would increase Georgia’s Own’s total assets to over $3.6 billion.
