Summary
We'd only use this credit union if it was in a super convenient location (in walking distance from wherever we frequented). And then we'd only use their savings as a backup savings account (not a main one).
History
Alpha Credit Union was founded in March of 1942. It’s a state-chartered cooperative institution catering to individuals working at specific medical centers. Membership extends to family members, with a unique policy allowing lifelong membership regardless of residence or employment.
