Membership is open to individuals who live, work, worship, or attend school in designated counties across Alabama and Florida, as well as employees of select employer groups and their immediate family members. If you live or work anywhere within our expansive service territories, joining is straightforward and takes only minutes.
Yes. Your deposits are federally insured up to at least $250,000 per member by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an independent agency of the United States Government. Just like the FDIC insures banks, the NCUA's National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) provides full federal backing and peace of mind.
Commercial banks are owned by outside stockholders seeking profit maximization. A credit union is a non-profit financial cooperative owned solely by its depositors (the members). Because we have no external shareholders demanding dividends, our earnings are returned directly to members in the form of lower loan interest rates, higher savings returns, and reduced account fees.
Absolutely. Alabama Credit Union participates in the nationwide CO-OP ATM network. This gives our members surcharge-free cash access at nearly 30,000 ATMs across all 50 states and Canada, located conveniently in retail stores, gas stations, grocery chains, and partner credit union branches.
Our dedicated switch team makes switching painless. Once your new checking account is established, we provide direct deposit switch kits for your payroll provider and assist you in transferring recurring bills. We walk you through each step to ensure zero disruption to your daily routine.
