Why Allegis is special

Our Roots

Established in 1957, Allegis was originally chartered to serve State of Michigan employees in seven counties in Southwestern Michigan.  The Branch County community was added in 1989 in the merger with Coldwater Area Credit Union. In 1996, Allegis built a new office in the main office’s current location on Venture Park in Oshtemo Township.  In 2001, the name was changed to Allegis Credit Union in order to diversify and represent the expanding field of membership.  In 2003, a new office was built in Coldwater, in the same location as the previous office.  In early 2006, Allegis was given a “Community Charter”, which made anyone who lives, works, worships, or goes to school in Allegan, Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, or Van Buren counties eligible for membership.  In June 2006, the third branch office was opened in Paw Paw. Over the years, Allegis Credit Union has grown into a full-service financial institution with over 10,000 members.

Since its inception, Allegis’ primary mission has been to serve the financial needs of its members, and this continues to be the driving force behind the credit union.  By effectively serving its members through the years, Allegis Credit Union has built a reputation of quality and dependability that has served it well.

Staff & Board

One of the things that makes Allegis special are the people who work there. The staff understands the true meaning of service and applies it to their interaction with members every day.

Allegis Credit Union, like all credit unions, is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.  Directors are members who are voted for by other members.  This system ensures that the best interest of our members is the driving force behind everything we do.

Deb enjoyed working at the credit union because she got to know the members and their families and they knew her. It really felt like a family to her, not just a business.
