Here's a fun idea! Plan a stay at home movie night for your kids. Give your kids chores around the house to teach them how to earn money, save it, and spend it on "tickets" and concessions. Go all out and plan a night your kids will love, all while having quality family time!

Today is International Credit Union Day, a day where we raise awareness on what it means to be a member of a credit union. This year's ICU Day theme “Inspiring hope for a global community” reflects how credit unions contribute to a brighter future by providing financial empowerment through financial services, education and support.
As part of International Credit Union Day, we'd like to recognize a few of our team members, who each reached a goal this year. This year, they celebrate anywhere from 5 to 35 years of service at Alabama Credit Union! Thank you for your dedication to ACU!
All Alabama Credit Union branches will be closed tomorrow, October 12 in observance of Columbus Day. We hope everyone has a great weekend!
