Understanding Credit Union Membership
Becoming a member of Alliant Credit Union opens up a world of financial opportunities and benefits. Let's explore what it means to join our credit union family and how it can positively impact your financial journey.
What is a Credit Union?
Unlike traditional banks, credit unions are member-owned financial cooperatives. At Alliant, our members are not just customers – they're owners. This unique structure allows us to focus on providing the optimal possible services and rates to our members rather than maximizing returnss for shareholders.
Membership Requirements
Joining Alliant is easier than you might think. You can become a member if you:
- Are a current or retired employee of a qualifying company
- Live or work in a qualifying community
- Are a member of a qualifying organization
- Are an immediate family member of an existing Alliant member
Don't meet these criteria? Don't worry! You can still join by becoming a member of our partner charity, Foster Care to Success.
