DOCO Credit Union celebrates its 60^th year in business. In May 1959, Dougherty County School Employees Federal Credit Union was charted as a benefit for the employees of the Dougherty County School System.  The first member was Mr. Ronald Culpeper who served on the Board of Directors and the first Board Chairman was Mr. J. G Sowell.  The Credit Union changed its name in 2003 to DOCO Regional Federal Credit Union and again in 2012 to DOCO Credit Union as it branched out to include additional school systems, counties, organizations and member groups.  In the past 60 years DOCO has seen mergers with other credit unions, the addition of new counties, and an increase of products with upgraded services. The most substantial change has been the expansion to the field of membership.  In 1959 only school system employees were eligible to join, but by 2019 the majority of the population in 21 counties are now able to be served.

“We are proud of our beginnings and humbled by what we’ve achieved. DOCO can’t wait to see what the next 60 years will bring to our membership,” said Barry Heape President and CEO of DOCO Credit Union.
