What is a credit union?
A credit union, like Alliant, is a not-for-profit financial cooperative, which means that every member is also an owner or shareholder of the financial institution – just one of the important benefits of banking with a credit union versus a traditional bank.
What makes Alliant better than a bank?
We offer lower rates on loans and higher rates on deposits, with the same convenient bank-anywhere access via Alliant Mobile or Online Banking. Plus, we offer ATM rebates up to $20 per month1, so any ATM is your ATM – no bank network required!
