AlliedFCU Turns 60 Years Old

We’re turning 60 and we’re looking better than ever! Allied Federal Credit Union was chartered on November 5th, 1965, by a group of City of Arlington employees. Originally named Arlington Federal Credit Union, our story started with us operating out of a payroll desk for the first eight years of service.

Sixty years later, we've grown to three locations and over 8,000 members. We're grateful you've chosen to bank with us.

Anniversary Special Offer

Since credit unions are built on the principle of people helping people, we're marking our 60th year with a simple offer:

Make a charitable donation to any 501(c)(3) non-profit with your AlliedFCU debit or credit card during November, and we'll add 60 bonus points to your account.

• There’s no limit on the amount contributed
• Offer runs from November 1 through November 31
• Earn 60 bonus points per transaction, up to 600 total points
• Bonus points will be credited to your account in December

Thank you for your continued trust and for being part of our story. Here's to the next chapter.

🎉 Join us in-Person for Anniversary Fun 🎉

Please help us celebrate our anniversary all week long from November 3 through November 7. We'll have treats at all branches with special surprises on Wednesday, November 5 - our actual anniversary day. Hope to see there!

Mobile Wallet and Digital Banking Make Life Easier



The holiday season is about to be in full swing, and we know how hectic things can get. That’s why Mobile Wallet and Digital Banking are two tools designed to simplify your life while keeping your accounts and cards secure.

With Mobile Wallet, you can use your AlliedFCU debit and credit cards directly from your smartphone or wearable device—no need to fumble with your physical card. Plus, services like Apple Pay^® and Google Wallet ^TM keep your card information safe by sending a secure, tokenized number to merchants instead of your actual card number. This way, your cards stay protected.

Digital Banking puts control at your fingertips.



• Transfer money
• Pay bills
• Create travel notifications
• Turn your AlliedFCU debit and credit cards on and off
• And more

For the ultimate convenience and security during the holiday season, add your AlliedFCU debit and credit cards to your digital wallet and download our mobile app if you haven't already. These tools help you manage your money safely and efficiently—no matter how busy your season gets.

Skip-a-Pay and Holiday Loans Provide Relief for Holiday Spending

The holidays can put extra strain on your budget, but AlliedFCU offers two ways to help ease the pressure and give your budget some breathing room.

Skip-a-Pay

If you have an AlliedFCU auto or personal loan, you can skip a payment in November or December and use that money where you need it most.

• No damage to your credit
• No late fees
• $30 processing fee
• Complete this online form at least 10 days before your loan payment is due.

Holiday Loans

Sometimes a little financial support can make all the difference during the holidays. An AlliedFCU Holiday Loan gives you the flexibility to cover gifts, travel, entertaining or other holiday expenses.

• Borrow up to $2,500
• Take up to 15 months to pay it off
• Rates as low as 7.99% APR*
• More affordable than most credit cards
• Apply for your holiday loan online or in person. Use promo code Holiday Loan in the promo code section at the bottom of the loan application.

Both Skip-a-Pay and Holiday Loans are designed to help you manage holiday costs more comfortably, so you can focus on what matters most.

Skip-A-Payment forms must be received before the loan payment due date for processing. Offer good on qualifying loans only. Interest continues to accrue on your loan and your loan term will be extended by one month. Other conditions may apply.

*APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rate based on creditworthiness. Promotional rate valid from November 1, 2025 to January 2, 2026 and is subject to change without notice. Membership at AlliedFCU required.

You Knocked Our Socks Off!

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Socktober sock drive a huge success! We collected more than 600 pairs of socks to donate to Mission Arlington, along with $600. Socks are the most requested item by shelters, because keeping feet warm and dry prevents illness. Your donations will bring warmth and comfort to those in our community who need it most. We’re proud and thankful to see our members step up once again to support our community!

Letters to Santa is back! Write a letter to Santa for something special you want this holiday season, and submit your letter electronically on our website. With our connections to the big guy, you may just receive it. The deadline to submit your letter is December 12, 2025.

Write your letter here!

All AlliedFCU branches will be closed on 



• Tuesday, November 11 for Veterans Day
• Thursday, November 27 for Thanksgiving Day
• Friday, November 28 for Day after Thanksgiving

We’re always open online if you need anything while we’re away.

Have a safe holiday!
