Peach State Federal Credit Union is a financial cooperative that provides a range of banking and lending services to members across Georgia and South Carolina. It is based in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and traces its origins to 1961 when it began as Gwinnett Teachers Credit Union; the name was changed to Peach State in 2012 to reflect a broader membership. Membership is available to employees of sponsor Boards of Education and many select groups, with eligibility extending to the immediate family and household members of those individuals. Operating in the financial services industry, the credit union emphasizes the member-focused cooperative model, returning profits to members through lower loan rates, higher savings yields, and lower fees. The organization is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration and is an Equal Housing Lender. In August 2024, Pinnacle Credit Union merged with Peach State FCU, expanding its footprint and membership.
