Featured Products
As a credit union, we exist solely to serve the diverse financial needs of our members — people like you. In fact, ALEC is owned by the very individuals it serves — not private investment groups or public shareholders.
That’s an important distinction from many other financial institutions. As a not-for-profit financial co-operative, after paying our credit union’s expenses and setting aside its mandated reserves, we return the money that’s left over right back to ALEC members.

Our Switch Kit is an extremely helpful way to put your accounts and recurring services in order, notify your other financial institution(s) and track your changes.
