We believe that everyone deserves access to quality financial services. That's why we are thrilled to bring a Credit Union 1 branch to Kotzebue this fall! Our expansion into this vibrant community is part of our ongoing mission to support Alaskans in reaching their financial goals, creating a brighter future for themselves and their families. As a member-owned financial cooperative, we are committed to serving areas that are underserved and underrepresented. Just like when we became the first financial institution in the Mountain View community back in 2010, we are proud to be the first Alaska credit union north of the Arctic Circle! Our new branch will be conveniently located within the new AC Store, making it easier than ever for residents to access our range of services and products. Keep an eye out for more updates as we get closer to our grand opening in Kotzebue — we can't wait to become a part of this incredible community!
