Delta Community Credit Union is relocating and expanding its Decatur branch this year.

The financial institution is currently located at 245 West Ponce de Leon Ave., and plans to move around the corner into a prominent office building at the corner of Commerce Drive and Clairemont Avenue, the credit union said in a statement.

Delta Community will occupy the lobby level of the commercial building at 160 Clairemont Ave., which is also home to several law firms and loan agencies.

“Relocating our existing Decatur branch within the same area allows us to retain an established footprint, and also offer expanded services and more convenient access for our members,” Delta Community CEO Hank Halter said in a statement.

The new branch is expected to open by the middle of this year. It is set to also feature three drive-thru service lanes and a drive-up ATM.

More than 27,000 people in DeKalb County are members of the Delta Community,  the credit union said. The Decatur branch opened in 2010.

“We’re excited to offer these existing members a larger, more comfortable space, and also look forward to welcoming new members who are eligible to join and enjoy all the benefits of Delta Community,” Halter said.

The institution markets itself as the largest credit union in the state, with 26 branches in metro Atlanta.
