Who We Are
American Airlines Federal Credit Union was founded in 1936 by a small group of American Airlines employees who shared the goal of creating a member-owned, cooperative financial institution where employees could help one another. We've been a part of the airline industry for more than eight decades, firmly focused on what works best for our member-owners. American Airlines Credit Union is continually growing, with a net worth of more than $901.1 million and assets surpassing $9.2 billion.†
We provide a wide array of products and services tailored to meet the specialized needs of our members because we understand this business that connects us. For our many airline industry members, we have branches conveniently located in most major U.S. airports. For the rest of the family, our network of more than 85,000 ATMs in the CO-OP ATM and Allpoint networks and the extensive CO-OP Shared Branch Network® provide easy and convenient nationwide access to members' accounts.
American Airlines Credit Union always has an eye on the future. We're constantly exploring new technologies to make the Credit Union experience easier without forgetting the personal connection that has been a huge part of our longevity. For more than three quarters of a century, we've helped out more than 334,000† members make informed financial decisions and we look forward to serving them and their families for generations to come.
Our Difference
Because American Airlines Credit Union is a not-for-profit organization, our loan rates are generally lower than those offered by conventional, for-profit financial institutions. Whether they are looking for loans for mortgages, vehicles, vacations or educational needs, our members enjoy extremely favorable terms. We're also able to pay higher dividends on deposits and charge lower fees.
Peace of Mind
Member-owners can feel good about the Credit Union because we're an independent institution. Funds on deposit at American Airlines Credit Union are federally insured for as much as $250,000 by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). So members always know their money is safe.
Careers
American Airlines Credit Union has built a solid reputation as a strong, competitive leader in the credit union industry. Our people are the primary reason for our success. We operate each day in a member-focused, innovative and team-based environment.
Employees of American Airlines Credit Union enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment with American Airlines. We are committed to our employees, members, communities and the value of diversity in the workplace.
