You Support the Community When You Bank Local

Banking locally means more than opening an account. It means choosing a financial partner that puts people first. At Alcon Employees Federal Credit Union, your membership has a real impact on the community around you — and on the people you care about.

Here’s how your decision to bank with AEFCU helps make Alcon stronger.

1. You Are a Member-Owner

When you join Alcon Employees FCU, you become part of something bigger. You’re not just a customer — you’re a member-owner. Every member has a voice in how the credit union operates, and every decision we make is based on what is best for our members.

This structure is what makes credit unions special. We exist to serve you.

2. Not-for-Profit Means We Put Members First

We don’t answer to outside investors. We don’t chase profits.

As a not-for-profit cooperative, any earnings go back to you through:

  • Better loan rates

  • Higher savings returns

  • Lower fees

  • Helpful services that support financial wellness

When you bank with AEFCU, your money works for you and your fellow members — not shareholders.

3. A Financial Cooperative Built on Trust

Your deposits help power the dreams of other members.
The money one member saves helps another:

  • Buy a car

  • Purchase a home

  • Cover an emergency

  • Build stronger financial habits

This cycle of shared success is at the heart of every credit union — and it’s why our community continues to grow stronger together.

4. We Invest in Alcon Families

Alcon Employees FCU proudly serves Alcon employees, retirees, their families, and the surrounding Alcon community.

Because we serve people who live and work here, we understand local needs better than big banks. That’s why we support our community through:

  • Alcon events and volunteer efforts

  • Financial education for families and teens

  • Support for local causes and outreach programs

  • Member programs created for the unique needs of Alcon families

When you bank with AEFCU, you are directly helping us continue these efforts.

How Credit Unions Differ From Banks

Credit unions offer the same services as traditional banks — checking, savings, loans, online banking, and more — but with one important difference:

Our profits stay local.
They go back into improving your experience, supporting members, and helping the Alcon community thrive.

When you choose Alcon Employees FCU, you choose:

  • Local service

  • Fair and honest rates

  • A team that knows you

  • A partner who cares about your financial future

Your membership strengthens the community around you.
