Jonathan talks to Dana Barrett and Dr. Alan Urech about Excel Federal Credit Union. Excel is an employer-based federal credit union and 200 Office Affiliate based in Norcross, GA. It was started way back in 1952 by a group of federal employees wanting a place to put their money where it would work for them – not someone else. Excel serves over 400 companies and, unlike most banks, Excel is not for profit. This means that rather than looking to make money for investors, everything they do is about serving their customers. Jonathan also talks about some specific local businesses that Excel has helped including medical and office buildings in Canton, assisted living facilities, a hotel and retail center in Augusta, local churches, and even a charter school in Smyrna. Excel’s website can be found here.
