Peach State Federal Credit Union
"Peach State Federal Credit Union has saved me twice. My wife lost her job and she made all the money! I am a high school teacher in Gwinnett. We had a new baby, a new house, an old house (unsold). We were suffering financially. And then my car was unrepairable. Peach State Federal Credit Union worked with my finances, and the Auto Assistance program to put me in a certified used car without busting our budget. Using the Auto Assistance program and a used car auto loan from Peach State helped me gain financial security."
"When I first walked through the front doors of the Lawrenceville location of Peach State Federal Credit Union back in 2012 – guided by hand by my mother, who swore to me a credit union would be a far better option than a bank – I had to admit I was nervous. I had no idea what to expect, especially since I knew nothing about credit unions. I hadn't even heard of them before. Aren't they just fancier terms for banks? That's what I'd assumed. I was wrong, of course."
"In January of 2023, I made my first "adult" purchase, driving home in my brand-new (to me) car. As a recent college graduate starting my teaching career, this was a milestone for me. It had been months of careful planning, budgeting, and working to find the best interest rate (which, by far, was with Peach State FCU) to make this dream come true."
"During the final year of my business degree, I was awarded a Career Advancement Scholarship from Peach State. At the time, my husband and I had just welcomed had our first child and purchased our first home. We were unsure of how we could afford finishing my degree (the first step on the path to become a CPA) but the scholarship was just enough to cover all the costs. Right before graduating we had to replace the roof on our ‘new to us’ home and Peach State was amazing. They provided financing at a great interest rate. I am now taking my CPA exams, and we have almost paid off our roof. I am incredibly thankful for Peach State."
