Alliant Credit Union Credit Cards

About Alliant Credit Union

Alliant Credit Union is a Chicago-based credit union with nearly a century of history. Initially the United Airlines Employees’ Credit Union (UAECU), the credit union operated under that name for more than 60 years. In 2003, UAECU changed its name to Aliant Credit Union and expanded its reach beyond the United Airlines family.

Today the credit union serves over 350,000 members throughout the United States, including former members of Kaiperm Federal Credit Union of Oakland, California, and US Airways Credit Union and continental Federal Credit Union of Tempe, Arizona.

Alliant Credit Union is the eighth-largest credit union in the United States by total assets, with over $12 billion in assets as of 2020.
