Alliant Credit Union, Chicago, Illinois takes great pride in receiving a 5-Star Superior rating for financial strength and stability from BAUERFINANCIAL, Inc., Coral Gables, Florida. 5-Stars is the highest rating attainable from BAUERFINANCIAL (the Nation's Bank and Credit Union Rating Firm for over a quarter of a century) and is based on the overall financial picture of the institution.
