As a pioneer in the banking world, we’re not the new kids on the block. Just like James Bond with sophisticated gadgets out of the trunk of a car, we initially launched in 1994 as a credit union for America Airline pilots and doing all the high-tech remote online banking (ATM reimbursements, etc.) services way before all the big banks.
Eventually, in 2000 we converted to an Illinois state charted savings bank and an FDIC Member. We later took roots at our current location in Oswego in 2007.
As a small business, we get it and understand the pain and struggle of starting from peanuts vs. big corporate capital funding to launch.
We take care of our people. Everyone has a voice. At Allied First Bank those voices matter. We recognize our workforce by investing in our team members as whole people. We start with making work fun. We weave in a spirit of social responsibility and philanthropy. Over time we build trust and pride. We believe in creating an environment that lends way to our team having fun and engaging in meaningful work.
