ATLANTA — In 1949, Delta Air Lines' founder C. E. Woolman saw the benefits of partnering with a then nine-year old Delta Employees Credit Union.
Woolman strongly backed payroll deductions to the credit union and encouraged the hiring of a full-time employee to handle the transactions. What started out as a small operation founded by eight Delta Air Line employees in 1940 has evolved and expanded in a number of ways to become the largest credit union in Georgia and among the biggest in the nation.
Today, Delta Community Credit Union, the new moniker came in 2005, has grown its field of membership from mainly serving Delta Air Line employees to seven counties in the metropolitan Atlanta area, and 12 branches in Georgia, Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Dallas and Salt Lake City. It also offers access to 2,500 shared service centers. The $2.2 billion credit union serves more than 165,000 members, has added more than 70 select employee groups and has 416 employees. Thirty-one percent of DECU's membership is Delta employees.
