ALEC is one of the largest credit unions in Illinois – backed by the strength and stability of over $1 billion in assets. As a team, we strive to provide exceptional service and support in all areas of ALEC. Every day, we work hard to prove our commitment to provide the very best financial products and services to more than 32,000 ALEC members.
Setting the bar high is a proud tradition at ALEC that has resulted in the strong, loyal support of our members.
Granted its charter in March 1990, ALEC first opened its doors to the employees of Abbott Laboratories in October of that same year. In our early years through 2001, ALEC Service Centers were located only at the AP30, AP6, AP22 and M1 locations. Since then, we’ve added additional service centers, including a location in Columbus, Ohio, in order to provide even greater convenience for our members.
In 1992, our main office in Gurnee opened – a year in which we also enabled the family members of Abbott employees to join ALEC and enjoy the same exceptional perks as their relative.
Over the years, the size of our credit union family has consistently grown, and we’ve proudly fulfilled the vital financial needs of our members with an increasingly broader array of outstanding financial products and services.
As always, we’re firmly focused on the promising future – ours and yours. We’ll continue to expand our diverse offerings to help ALEC members achieve their financial goals, save money, and enjoy their lives more fully.
