From our beginning in 1950 to where we are today, serving over 59,000 people in six Michigan counties, American 1 Credit Union has been committed to providing excellent, low-cost everyday banking for our members. American 1 was born out of a grocery cooperative, Jackson Co-Op Services (known today as the Community 1 Cooperative) in Jackson, MI, which started in 1945 through local individuals from the manufacturing community.

Despite the post-war economic boom in America during this time, founders of Jackson Co-Op Services acknowledged that the average Jackson worker did not have access to low-cost credit and regular savings programs. These factors significantly affected thousands of hard-working adults and their families trying to meet their financial goals, grow their families, and build their homes.

Excellent, painless and fast checking account opening. Looking forward to banking here. Jill was more than helpful in refinancing my auto loan saved me thousands of dollars and helped every step of the way. Highly recommend Jill as well as the whole staff.

Although I have moved away from Michigan, and I so happy I didn’t move away from my credit union. Both Kelly and Abby were so responsive whether it was by phone, text, or email. The dealership where I bought my car wasn’t the easiest to deal with, but I’m thankful that I had my credit union in my corner to make the financing easy.

I had a very long wait and was just about to leave then it was finally my turn. I'm glad I didn't they have the friendliest employees and Chelsea at the North Street branch was the best.

Easy convenient banking. It shows pending deposits way before they ever deposit so you’re able to keep track of when your money is coming in. As well as it shows every transaction made on the mobile app which makes keeping track of your money even easier. We offer simplicity checking where you can overdraft up to $500 with only a fee of $25.

This credit union was amazing to deal with. Often times you get the run around when trying to apply for a loan, but this was not the case. Aaron was great and answered all my questions quickly and efficiently. They helped me achieve my goal of owning a classic truck and I'm so very grateful. It was a pleasure working with them, and they will be getting more of my business in the future.
