As Georgia's credit unions tout strong performance numbers, the state's banks are still experiencing losses, the FDIC recently reported.
As of Sept. 30, Georgia's banks lost $889 million, which was up from $783 million in the second quarter, according to the FDIC. More than 55% of banks in the Peach State had losses in the third quarter, an 8% decrease from that percentage in the second quarter. Twenty-six banks have shut down in Georgia since 2008.
In a September report, the Georgia Credit Union Affiliates said credit unions continue to offer lower interest rates, lower fees, and higher rates on savings compared to banks.
