You make an eXtreme impact when you bank with Peach State! Each purchase you make with your Peach State Visa Debit Card results in Peach State donating a nickel to the Peach State FCU C.A.R.E.S. Foundation, which supports non-profits, school systems, and the arts in the communities.1

1 $0.05 per transaction of Peach State Federal Credit Union’s merchant interchange income from our Visa Debit Card program is used to benefit the communities we serve. Peach State will determine where/how funds are disbursed. This does not affect members’ accounts, nor will any member information be disclosed. You will not incur any additional fees or charges from this program. Merchant interchange income is derived from fees that a merchant pays to accept credit/debit card payments. The C.A.R.E.S. program may or may not apply to ATM transactions, certain commercial transactions, or other transactions not processed by Visa.

Testimonial

As a high school student, my first checking and savings accounts were with Peach State. I’m very thankful for Peach State.

Peach State has always been a pleasure to deal with.

I opened an account when I was 15 to save up for a car. I never have to worry about hidden fees or high interest rates. Any time I go in person, the staff are always friendly and helpful.
