CHICAGO—Money has named what it says is the Best Credit Union in America: the $10.9-billion Alliant Credit Union.
“Alliant has an excellent no-hassle checking account that pays 0.65% interest, offers free ATMs, and rebates $20 in ATM surcharges. Its free savings account also stands out compared with those of other credit unions, with a payout of 1.9%,” said Money in its analysis. “Joining is easy—a one-time donation to nonprofit Foster Care to Success qualifies you as a member. Finally, customers give Alliant’s mobile app high ratings.”
Money noted that Alliant is largely an online credit union with only two offices and that “customers have complained about Alliant’s overdraft policy.”
As CUToday.info reported, Alliant earlier this year was hit with a proposed class action lawsuit related to its charging of overdraft fees.
