Alliant History

  1. October 26, 1935

    A small group of United Airlines employees came together to organize a credit union. Originally founded as the United Airlines Employees’ Credit Union, this tight-knit group of employees had a vision of providing a safe place to save and get loans at fair rates. By year end, the credit union had grown to:

  2. Alliant Through the Years

    From this modest start, Alliant increasingly expanded products, services and digital capabilities while still maintaining a low-cost business model. Through the decades, we continued to grow through innovation and responsive member care and service.

    Our success is due, in part, to our strong focus on member benefits. Potential offerings are evaluated by our Board of Directors based on overall benefit to the membership and impact to earnings. New products and services must meet strict criteria of quality, competitive pricing, and the ability to enhance credit union earnings and “giveback” to members.
