Our Online New Accounts Desk permits you to set up and fund your new savings, checking, or other accounts -- or, add new accounts to your existing membership -- from the convenience of your keyboard. It's easy to use and takes only a few minutes. Here's more information about using our online account opening system.

While we will be happy to obtain information from you to open your membership, we will need to make a copy of your photo identification and your actual signature prior to activating your account. You will also need at least $26 to open your savings account ($25 minimum balance and $1 membership fee).

To open your account, we will need the following for each person who will be an owner of the account:

• Valid state-issued photo ID (such as driver license)
• UAH Charger Card or UA Action Card, if a UAH or UA student
• Social Security number or tax ID number

The Alabama Credit Union is a progressive, member-owned financial cooperative whose mission is to improve the quality of life of its members by providing the highest level of service while building member trust and value.

Like all credit unions, management is by a board of directors made up of persons democratically elected from the membership, by the membership. Board members volunteer their time and effort to ensure the highest standard of services possible to members of the credit union.

Members pay less for financial products and services because the credit union is a not-for-profit organization owned by its members (we don’t have customers!). Earnings above our operating expenses and reserves are returned to members in the form of lower-cost loans, higher-yields on deposits, convenient offices and access methods, and lower (if any) fees.

Each year at our annual membership meeting, members elect volunteers to fill positions on the board of directors and supervisory committee. One member, one vote — it’s democracy in action. And once a member, always a member — even if you leave your current employer or relocate to a new area.

Our commitment to you is that we will continually find ways to add value to your credit union membership. The more you use your Alabama Credit Union, the more you’ll save... join Alabama Credit Union and experience Bankless Banking.
