Our story
Strength in community
When Alaska was still a territory, a small group of people saw a need for better financial services in their community. In 1948, Alaska USA was chartered as the Alaska Air Depot Federal Credit Union in Anchorage to meet the financial needs of hardworking civilian employees of the Depot. Our original members began pooling their savings and extending credit to one another, while volunteering their time to operate the credit union.
As our membership grew, so did the credit union. Today we serve anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Alaska, Washington, California's San Bernardino County, and Arizona's Maricopa County.
Rooted in our values
We’re a community of everyday people empowering each other to build a better financial future for ourselves and the ones we love. Alaska USA Federal Credit Union uses profits to provide benefits to our members, unlike traditional banks who are focused on earning a profit for shareholders.
We strive to improve the lives of our members by making high quality products and services more affordable. Credit union earnings are returned to more than 714,000 member-owners and their families in the form of reduced loan rates, lower fees, and higher dividends.
Service through innovation
We have a history of integrating the latest technology into our services to meet the evolving needs of our members.
In the 1970s, we launched our member service call center, an innovation to credit unions nationwide. In the 1990s, we offered online account access, bringing financial services to the homes of members across the country.
Now, our Alaska USA app offers secure, reliable banking at the touch of your fingers. Through digital services, we aim to meet the financial needs of all members with expert advice and low-rate products—wherever you go.
Meet our officials
Alaska USA's officials are elected annually by the credit union's members, each of whom has a single vote, regardless of how many shares they have on deposit. Officials serve on a voluntary basis and receive no compensation for the time they spend working on behalf of the membership of the credit union.
