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 the “Manage Cards/Cards” sections of Online Banking and Mobile Banking.

As part of this upgrade:

  • The current online credit card portal and the mobile 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-Statements will carry over seamlessly.
  • 12 months of statement history will be available at your fingertips.
  • You’ll enjoy the same great functionality that you experience on the debit card side, now for your credit card.

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.

Thank you for being part of our journey

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
  • Enhanced communications
  • Best-in-class data security
  • Greater digital unification

To every member who’s been part of our journey: thank you. We’re honored to be your financial partner and excited to continue delivering #MoreThanJustBanking for many years to come.
