Georgia Heritage Federal Credit Union : Personal Attention & a Friendly Smile Make All the Difference

When Donna Trapani was starting her career more than 32 years ago, she lacked credit and experience with finances. The Union Camp Federal Credit Union—now Georgia Heritage Federal Credit Union (GHFCU)—gave her an unsecured loan and taught her very important skills at an early age.

“What big bank gives a young girl an unsecured loan?” At that point, she knew her Credit Union was special.

Donna has been a resident of the Savannah area for more than 42 years and is an employee of Kraton Chemical. Kraton Chemical was formerly Union Camp. Union Camp was bought by International Paper who eventually sold the chemical portion of the company to form Kraton Chemical. Kraton develops, manufactures and markets the products that help the paper industry provide valuable products around the globe.

Donna, along with her husband, has been a proud employee of the company and a member of the Georgia Heritage Federal Credit Union since she opened her checking account that day many years ago. Donna knows that GHFCU is a unique financial institution. Whichever of the four branches she walks into, she knows the team members will take the time to learn her name and get to know her as part of their extended Credit Union family.

“Georgia Heritage has all the products and services of the big banks but with the personal attention that makes its members feel special,” says Donna. “Whether it is the competitive checking and savings rates to the rewards cards and discounts at local businesses, members can get all of their financial services needs met with one institution.”

When Donna’s 78-year-old mother moved to Chatham County, Donna made sure her mother experienced the same benefits. GHFCU immediately helped her mom open a checking, savings and IRA.

Donna serves as a board member for the Georgia Heritage Federal Credit Union Board of Directors and has been on the supervisory committee since 2014. She is happy to give back to GHFCU and knows that anyone who walks into one of their branches will be greeted with the same friendly smile and the opportunity to take advantage of the wonderful services GHFCU provides to all its members.
