On November 1, 2022, Vinings Bank became Georgia’s Own Credit Union. On May 5, 2023, we will begin our planned system conversion.

Additionally, you will have access to the 34 additional Georgia’s Own locations throughout metro-Atlanta, Southwest Georgia, Southeast Georgia, Augusta, and Savannah, and over 110,000 surcharge-free ATMs We intend to make this conversion as simple and seamless as possible. Please read the information included in this welcome booklet to make you better aware of key dates and important reminders.

Safety and Soundness
The safety and soundness of our members’ money has been Georgia’s Own Credit Union’s number one priority since our inception in 1934, and remains unwavering today. The credit union business model is designed to return earnings to members (rather than stockholders), which inherently creates a safer, more conservative financial portfolio for these financial institutions—and Georgia’s Own is no exception. In addition, each of our individual depositors is insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA).
