About Us
A credit union is a truly unique financial institution -- one which is owned by its members. It is a not-for-profit, democratically owned organization, and that's one of the primary reasons why a credit union differs from a commercial bank or savings and loan. The cooperative spirit and philosophy that gave the first credit unions a beginning still exist today. Every member (above age 15) has one vote at the credit union's annual membership meeting, because each member owns a part of the credit union.
The Guardian Credit Union was chartered in June 1958, as Alabama National Guard Federal Credit Union for the purpose of making short-term travel loans for the full-time National Guard Technicians who traveled and had to wait for reimbursement from the government. In May 2004, our name was changed to Guardian Credit Union, and in January 2005, we received a Community Charter to expand our field of membership. You may be eligible as a member of our

GUARDIAN CREDIT UNION FEE SCHEDULE AND SHARE ACCOUNT DISCLOSURE
Dividend Information: Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period. The Dividend Period for our accounts is quarterly. For example, the beginning date of the first dividend period of the calendar year is January 1, and the ending date of such period is March 31. All other dividend periods follow this same pattern of dates. The dividend declaration date follows the ending date of the dividend period, and for the example above would be April 1. The dividend rate and APY may change every quarter as determined by the Credit Union's Board of Directors. Dividends are calculated by the average daily balance method which applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is determined by adding the full balance account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit noncash items (e.g., checks) to your account. Dividends will be compounded quarterly and credited quarterly to the account. If you close an account, you will forfeit all dividends not yet credited.
No dividends are earned on average daily balances less than $100.00.
Minimum Balance Information: In order to maintain this account, you must keep the $25.00 par value of a regular share in this Credit Union.
Transaction Limitations: You may not make more than six withdrawals or transfers to another credit union account of yours or to a third party by means of a pre-authorized or automatic transfer or telephonic order or instruction during any statement period. No more than three of the six transfers may be made by check, draft, debit card, if applicable, or similar order to a third party. If you exceed the transfer limitations set forth above in any statement period, your account may be closed by us.
