An Enhanced Card Management Experience is Coming in Early November
We’re excited to announce that a new, streamlined card management experience is on the way! Soon, you’ll be able to view and manage both your debit and credit cards directly within Online and Mobile Banking, without leaving our website or having to use a separate app to access your credit card information.
As part of this upgrade:
- The online credit card portal and the Credit Card Valet app will be retired.
- Credit card information will be integrated into the “Manage Cards/Cards” areas of Online and Mobile banking.
- Your payment methods, automatic payments, and e-statement preferences will carry over seamlessly with 12 months of statement history available at your fingertips.
- You’ll enjoy the same great functionality that you currently experience on the debit card side, now for your credit card.
Action will be required for:
- One-time payment methods – the first payment after the update will need to be re-verified.
- Credit card alerts – options currently in place will need to be set up again in Online and Mobile banking after the update.
- CURewards® Points – now found under Services in Online and Mobile Banking and will need to be logged into each time to access.
This change reflects our commitment to improving your digital experience and making it easier to manage your finances in one secure, unified location. Stay tuned for more updates as we roll out this enhancement. Questions? Give us a call anytime at 800.762.9988 or stop by any ALEC Branch.
Celebrating 35 Years of Service
This year marks a major milestone for ALEC – 35 years of serving our members with a commitment to their financial wellbeing. From our humble beginnings in 1990, when we first opened our doors to Abbott Laboratories employees, to now serving over 33,000 members nationwide with more than $1 billion in assets, our growth is thanks to your continued trust and partnership.
From day one, our mission has been to serve the diverse financial needs of our members. We’re proud to be a credit union, owned by our members – not private investment groups or public shareholders. Every dollar we earn beyond expenses goes right back to our members in the form of better rates, lower fees, and enhanced services.
Over the years, we’ve expanded our branch network, broadened our product offerings, and embraced digital innovation to make banking more seamless and secure. Today, we’re proud to offer a unified digital experience that brings your financial tools together, reduces barriers, and strengthens your connection to everything ALEC has to offer.
As we celebrate this anniversary, we’re also looking ahead—with a continued focus on:
- Exceptional member service
