Why Join Alloya Corporate?

  • Alloya offers a large-scale credit union-owned and -controlled solution that aggregates volumes and creates opportunities for new products. Fragmenting volumes among multiple sources reduces the buying power for all and puts your future in the hands of those who might not have your best interests in mind.
  • By joining Alloya, credit unions maintain the concepts and values of a cooperative network. There is strength in numbers and even more strength when those numbers control the entity.
  • Alloya provides outstanding support when you need it. Will third-party providers or the Fed cover an encoding error or other adjustments for you? Not likely. And with the power that aggregation brings, Alloya can bring resolution to adjustments faster than your credit union can on its own.
  • Receive unparalleled service, from one credit union to another. Our people are credit union people, and view member service with the same importance that you do.
  • Alloya has more merger experience than any other corporate in the system. We are the result of 17 mergers.
  • Alloya is profitable. While fees are always subject to market conditions and change, controlling costs and returning value to members are key drivers at Alloya.
