Avadian Credit Union started as Alabama Telco in 1934. We opened our doors with seven charter members and a capital base of $70. The "Telco" part of our name referred to the fact that we originally served only telephone company employees and their families. Our membership extended beyond the phone company years ago. We’ve grown even more since, and we changed our name to Avadian in 2015. One thing that didn’t change? Our founding principles. They are the same as they were in 1934. Today, we serve more than 80,000 members at Avadian branches throughout Alabama. We offer access nationwide through CO-OP branches and ATMs as well as online, mobile, and telephone banking services. We're one of the largest credit unions in Alabama, managing about $800 million in assets. We consistently receive a five-star, superior rating from BauerFinancial because our credit union is safe, strong, and sound.
