CORE Credit Union was founded, in 1974, as Bulloch County School Employees Credit Union by eight residents of Bulloch County. The charter members originally founded the Credit Union to serve educators in Bulloch County.

In 1980, the Credit Union expanded its field of membership to include the employees of Georgia Southern College, Effingham County Board of Education, and Candler County Board of Education. In 1981 and 1982, the field of membership continued to grow with the additions of the Bryan County Board of Education and Emanuel County Board of Education. With the continued growth outside of the Bulloch County area the Credit Union felt it was necessary to change its name to represent the areas served. In 1984, the Credit Union officially changed its name to Central Ogeechee River Educators Credit Union to reflect the areas being served.

In the following years, the Credit Union expanded its membership beyond just educators. The field of membership now included Select Employee Groups (SEGs) or employees of local industries who had chosen to partner with the Credit Union for financial services. By 1996, it was decided Central Ogeechee River Educators Credit Union again was no longer an accurate representation of the field of membership. In order to represent future membership growth, the acronym CORE was used to replace Central Ogeechee River Educators.

With membership reaching over 10, 000 in 2017, the Credit Union began looking to expand into new markets. In 2018, CORE found a partner in Savannah Federal Credit Union. The merger between the two credit unions provided a new market presence, in Savannah, for CORE as well as a full line of financial services to Savannah Federal members. With the completion of the merger in early 2019, CORE Credit Union is positioned to continue its tradition of offering superior products and services to our members.
