Organized in 1956 to serve The University Of Alabama, our Tuscaloosa-based not-for-profit financial cooperative quickly became a favorite among the University community. Known for its personal service, low-cost loans, and higher-than-average dividends on deposits, Alabama Credit Union’s membership grew steadily for many years. As consumers began demanding increased convenience, additional products, and sophisticated financial advice, our credit union became a fast adopter of technology, supported by a caring, personal staff at a growing network of branch offices.Alabama Credit Union has been honored as the merger choice of several credit unions whose memberships wanted more than their own credit unions could provide, but the same personal service they trusted. As a result, we are now the credit union of choice for employees at Phifer Incorporated, Decatur City Schools, Morgan County Schools, Hartselle City Schools, Cullman County Schools, Birmingham Post Office, and several more. We have also been chosen by selection committees and human resource departments at many of Alabama’s pre-eminent employers, such as several Mercedes-Benz suppliers, University Of Alabama at Huntsville, Austal Shipbuilding, and Mercedes-Benz U.S. International.

Alabama Credit Union’s mission is to enhance the lives of our members and team members, strengthen our communities and live our shared values. At Alabama Credit Union we want you to “feel good about your money.” Our members can feel good about their money because our employees will provide products and financial counsel that our members need, and do it with a smile. We think of our members as part of the ACU family and are dedicated to taking care of them—from assisting with an auto loan, at a great rate, to helping save for that dream vacation. Alabama CU’s Shared Values drive everything we do. Founded in 1956 by people who wanted a cooperative approach to banking, Alabama Credit Union remains a people-driven organization that exists to serve its members, support its employees and their families, and enhance the communities we serve.
