LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. Gwinnett FCU yesterday announced that it is entering its 52nd year of service with a new name, Peach State FCU, to better reflect its membership base and footprint in Georgia.
The $230-million credit union said its new name is a testament to its growth over the last 20 years as it has expanded from Gwinnett into six other counties, including Barrow, Clarke, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Jackson, Oconee and Walton.
“We now serve more than 41,000 members, 26,000 of whom live outside Gwinnett County. The name Peach State not only acknowledges our entire membership base, but it also allows for future growth without geographic constraints,” said Marshall Boutwell, president of the one-time Gwinnett Teachers credit union.
