Sometimes the mission you are hoping to achieve is bigger than competition. Several years back, we launched our financial literacy simulation and worked to get it integrated across schools in Alabama. - We fully funded the program and offered it to schools free of charge with volunteers provided! - We formed adaptations of the program to accommodate schools of the visually impaired and deaf. - We hosted principal summits and leadership workshops to explain the program in hopes of being welcomed into more schools. - We partnered with local leadership programs and governments to encourage the inclusion of financial literacy in schools. Now, we've begun to see a lot more financial institutions across the state offer the same program. Which is where my first point came in, remembering the mission of it all! It’s not about being the one to service everyone, it’s about doing the groundwork to take the first step; therefore, encouraging other businesses to do the same. At the end of the day, our goal is being achieved-- more children in Alabama are learning financial literacy-- and that’s something to celebrate!!!

About us
AlaTrust Credit Union began helping educators and their families with their financial needs in 1935. What began as Birmingham Credit Union in 1935 to serve the employees of the Birmingham Board of Education, later changed to First Educators Credit Union in 1994 to represent its service to educators and their families throughout the state of Alabama. After serving the education industry for over 70 years, the credit union expanded their field of membership to include Shelby, Jefferson, Talladega, Walker, and Calhoun County. Now anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in those counties are eligible for membership. To reflect this expanded service, the credit union name was changed to AlaTrust Credit Union in March of 2014. At AlaTrust, we work with you to build on the things that are truly important in life … your financial future. We are not just another credit union; we are your financial partner. We strive to offer you the most affordable rates, convenient terms and the most competitive financial services and products. At the credit union, we take great pride in our member/employee relationship. We want you to be completely satisfied with the service that you receive at AlaTrust Credit Union and will continue to strive to make each member happy. Our philosophy is to focus on one member at a time as our members are at the heart of all we do.
