About Alliance Catholic Credit Union
Our Mission
Our mission is simple, to provide trusted financial services, inspired by Catholic values and traditions, to enhance the financial well-being of our Catholic communities and the neighbors we serve.
Our Story
Alliance Catholic Credit Union, as we know it today, began long ago with a dedicated group of Catholic parishioners who sought a trusted financial option – grounded in a foundation of faith. Many generations later, we are the product of credit unions large and small that merged, one after another, unified by their Catholic faith. Here is a timeline of key milestones in our journey:

Membership approved the bylaw change to add St. Anastasia Parish to the Field of Membership. Name changed to Tri-Parish Credit Union.

Over the next five years, Tri-Parish Credit Union grew by adding parish credit unions from St. Columban, Our Lady Queen of Martyrs and Holy Name to the field of membership and changed their name to Oakland Catholic Credit Union.
January 2005
Field of membership for the state of Michigan approved. Oakland Catholic Credit Union becomes Michigan Catholic Credit Union.
May 2007
Merged Lansing Area Catholic Credit Union into Michigan Catholic Credit Union.
February 2008
Membership approved merger of Members Choice Credit Union into Michigan Catholic Credit Union.

Today
Alliance Catholic Credit Union continues to build upon the initial foundation of faith established by our founding credit unions, while continuing to add products and services that members need to fully, confidently manage their money.
Alliance Catholic welcomes people who live, work, worship and study at Catholic schools, parishes and organizations to enjoy the benefits of a full service financial institution.
Members can take advantage of a growing network of branches and ATM locations while enjoying a first-rate mobile app and digital banking experience that allows them to manage their money wherever they are and wherever they go. Low loan rates and a quick, easy application process allows members to get the money they need. A variety of deposit alternatives, including a checking account that pays dividends, provides members with options to keep their money safe and see it grow.
Our Board of Directors is made up of experienced member volunteers who are active in the Credit Union’s growth and development. Their participation ensures that the Alliance Catholic Credit Union always keeps its members’ best interests as our number one priority.
