About Us

The AmFirst Story

Our credit union was founded during the Great Depression on July 23, 1936 when nineteen men employed by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company pooled their money in a cigar box. Their mission: provide excellent financial services to the under-represented members of our community.
Our great service and quality financial options quickly connected with the people of Alabama.

A Brief History

 

 


 

 

Today, we have over 167,000 members and $1.6 billion dollars in assets.

Our 19 branch locations proudly serve the following Alabama counties: Bibb, Blount, Calhoun, Chilton, Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair, Walker, and certain areas of Mobile and Talladega.
