History
Credit Union 1 was established as Anchorage Teachers Federal Credit Union in 1952. Its original base of membership was personnel and dependents of the Anchorage Independent School District. The credit union since merged with other Alaskan credit unions such as FedAlaska, Ward Cove, and North Country Credit Union.
The credit union recently opened a branch in the Mountain View neighborhood of Anchorage, which has not had a financial institution for over 20 years. The land for the new branch was purchased from the Anchorage Community Land Trust.
In 2016, the credit union was named to The Financial Brand's list of "Top 100 Credit Unions Using Social Media.
