ALPS Federal Credit Union was founded in 1960 by local Alaska Lumber and Pulp mill workers as an institution that would provide affordable loan and deposit services to members. As a cooperative, we are completely owned and directed by our membership. In 1985, we became a community-chartered credit union, allowing us to offer membership to local residents as well as employees of the paper mill. Later that year, we added the city and borough of Sitka to our field of membership. In 2013, we again expanded our original charter so that we could serve all of Southeast Alaska.
