AlaTrust Credit Union began helping educators and their families with their financial needs in 1935. After serving the education industry for over 70 years, the credit union expanded their field of membership to include Calhoun, Coosa, Cullman, Elmore, Jefferson, Russell, Shelby, St. Clair, Talladega, Tallapoosa, Walker, or Winston County. Now anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in those counties are eligible for membership. To reflect this expanded service, the credit union name was changed to AlaTrust Credit Union in March of 2014.
