- Field of membership (summary)
- ACU’s published business membership packet states field of membership includes: anyone who is a resident of Georgia or who works in Georgia; employees of ACU Member Companies (in or outside Georgia); Armed Forces active/reserve/retired; certain federal employees; and family members of ACU employees and existing members. Consumer Share page documents the $5 membership fee and $5 balance to open.
- Join steps (as published)
- Confirm you live or work in Georgia (or another published path). Open a Share account online or at a branch with the published $5 one-time membership fee and $5 opening balance.
- Fees (only if published)
- Share account (acuonline.org): one-time membership fee $5; balance to open $5. Full consumer service charges: see ACU service-charges PDF / disclosures — do not invent monthly checking fees here.
- ATM / network notes
- ACU marketing historically cites surcharge-free CO-OP ATM access for members. Exact published ATM count was not re-confirmed on a live locator page this pass — use ACU locations / CO-OP locator; do not invent counts.
- Branches serving Greater Atlanta
- Multiple metro Atlanta and Georgia branches — use acuonline.org locations. Do not invent addresses.
- Caveats
- Statewide Georgia live/work path is Easy for Atlanta. Confirm eligibility wording on current ACU materials at apply time. CIP always applies.
- Join difficulty rationale
- Easy — published statewide Georgia residency or employment path.
