Everyone wants to fly like an (American) Eagle.

Member-owned, not-for-profit. We return excess funds to our members as dividends, decreased loan interest, and better products and services.

Great rates. No or low fees. Exclusive member services and discounts. As a not-for-profit, we offer highly competitive loan rates, no-fee ATMs, and safe and affordable checking and savings options.

Convenience. We have a 90-year track record of serving members and communities across CT and MA. With 16 branches and access to 60,000 Allpoint and SUM partner network ATMs, we’re conveniently located wherever you live, work, or bank.

Rooted in community. At American Eagle Financial Credit Union, our commitment doesn't stop when you walk out of one of our branches or log off our website. We also make a strong commitment to extend a helping hand to our neighbors in the communities we serve.

Community Impact. Our Cash Back to the Community Program is like no other! Every time you use your American Eagle Debit or Credit Card, we give to a worthy organization in your community - one that you and other members choose! That means the more you use your cards, the more we give back!
