WHY LEGACY?
All about Legacy. All about you.

Our mission is simple: To help members like you enjoy the best possible financial life. We do this with low fees for our services, competitive loan rates, and helpful advice whenever it’s needed. Every day, in every way, you can count on us as a partner in making the most of your money.
Legacy opened its doors as University Credit Union in 1955 to serve the UAB community. After serving the education and healthcare industries for more than 50 years, we expanded our field of membership to include the 7-county Greater Birmingham Metropolitan Area, changing our name to Legacy Community Federal Credit Union at the beginning of 2006. So if you live, work, worship or attend school in Jefferson, Shelby, Blount, St. Clair, Walker, Chilton, and Bibb counties, you’re eligible for membership.
Become a part of us, and we’ll be a part of your financial success story.
