What is a credit union?

Credit unions are different from banks and other financial institutions. They're cooperatives, owned by the members they serve. Anyone who opens an account secures a share in the credit union.

Another difference is that credit unions are not for profit institutions. That means all of our profits go back into the credit union, resulting in better rates and dividends and fewer fees.

What makes Delaware Alliance FCU special?

Delaware Alliance Federal Credit Union was originally founded and chartered as Health and Social Services Federal Credit Union in 1963 by the employees of the Delaware State Hospital to provide sound financial services for themselves and their families. In 1990 we merged with the Chamber of Commerce FCU and became Delaware Alliance FCU. Today our credit union serves approximately 7,000 members and includes many other employee groups and their families. As we continue to grow, we still maintain the credit union philosophy of "people helping people" and strive to provide our members with friendly, personalized service.
