We will be closed Wednesday, February 1st to merge the operating systems of Albany Federal Employees’ Credit Union and Members United Credit Union. Beginning at 5pm on Tuesday, January 31st members from the Columbus branch will lose access to online and telephone banking. Members of Albany Federal may lose access to both systems. Any access you have will be on a view only basis. Balances will not update after 5pm on January 31st. The transfer function will also not be operational. Our ATMs may also experience downtime. By Wednesday evening, February 1st all systems will again be fully operational for all members. When we reopen Thursday our branches in both Albany and Columbus will be available for your use.

     Former members of Albany Federal will see a new and improved look to our Home Banking site. This upgrade has many new features not available on our previous system. Our previous system was a batch system, meaning you did not see your transactions on the site as they occurred. The new system is live, therefore you will see purchases and other transactions as they occur on your home banking page. The new system gives you the capability of setting up recurring transfers between your credit union accounts. It also allows you to set up alerts, which send emails notifying you when criteria you have selected occurs to your accounts. You will enjoy these new features and the many other upgrades to the system.

     Simply sign into your account and follow the prompts to be set up in the new system. If you are not currently enrolled in Home Banking enter the Home Banking site and click on the “Enroll Online” link. As always, we are available to help you with any questions.

     On November 30, 2011, the membership of Member's United Credit Union voted to merge with AFECU. The merger was approved and on January 1, 2012, Members United officially joined forces with Albany Federal Employees' Credit Union.

     Members United is located in Columbus, Georgia with a field of membership composed of employees of Lance Snack Food Company, employees of Road America, employees of Columbus Country Club and residents of Muscogee County. They opened their doors in 1983 and currently have a membership over 1800 with assets over $11 million. We will be adding their current location (709 Veteran's Parkway, Columbus, GA 31901) as our newest branch. Help us welcome our newest members!

      After the merger was completed on January 1st, Albany Federal Employees' Credit Union changed its name to Members United Credit Union. With the addition of Dougherty County residents to our field membership in 2008; the merger with Federal & State Inspectors CU in 2010; the current merger and new branch location in Columbus; and the addition of Sam's Club of Albany, Ryan's Steakhouse, Sumter County Sherriff Office, and Merck Chemical as SEGs, the name, Albany Federal Employees' Credit Union, no longer is an accurate description of our membership base. Changing our name to Members United Credit Union more accurately portrays our current membership base and allows us to grow into the future.
