Paying your Alabama Credit Union loan or credit card online offers unmatched convenience and security. Our digital platform allows you to manage your payments from anywhere, at any time. You can make a one-time payment using funds from your Alabama Credit Union account or an external bank account. This method is ideal for those who prefer to initiate payments manually as needed.
For consistent payments, consider setting up recurring payments. This ensures your payments are made automatically on their due date, helping you avoid late fees and manage your budget more effectively. You can schedule these payments weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, aligning with your pay schedule. Our online system provides clear confirmations and a history of all your transactions.
For Alabama Credit Union members who prefer traditional payment methods, we offer options to pay by phone or mail. These methods provide reliable alternatives to online transactions, catering to those who may not have internet access or simply prefer speaking with a representative or sending a physical check.
To make a payment by phone, you can call our dedicated payment line during business hours. A member service representative will guide you through the process, ensuring your payment is applied correctly. Please have your account number and payment information ready to expedite the call. A small fee may apply for phone payments processed with a representative, but automated phone payments are typically free.
For mail payments, send a check or money order payable to Alabama Credit Union, clearly indicating your account number on the memo line. Ensure sufficient time for postal delivery before your due date.
Our mailing address for payments is: Alabama Credit Union, P.O. Box 1988, Tuscaloosa, AL 35403. We recommend sending your payment several business days before your due date to account for mail transit times and processing, especially for larger payments or those close to the deadline. For more general information on consumer credit, you can refer to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

When you visit a branch to make a payment, please bring your account number or statement and a valid form of identification.

Knowing your payment due dates is crucial for maintaining good financial standing and avoiding late fees. At Alabama Credit Union, we strive to make this information easily accessible. Your payment due date is clearly stated on your monthly loan or credit card statements. These statements are available both through mail and within your online banking portal.
We recommend reviewing your statements regularly to stay informed about your current balance, minimum payment due, and the exact due date. Setting up reminders or opting for recurring payments can significantly help in ensuring payments are submitted on time. Missing a due date can result in late fees and potentially impact your credit score. For more details on managing credit, the Federal Trade Commission provides valuable resources.
