About Us

Atlantic Regional has been in business since 1941 and our financial strength has grown each year.

Members, Not Customers

Our members are very important to us. As a nonprofit institution, we exist solely for your success. Instead of pocketing profits, we use them to secure better rates and other top-of-the line services for our members. And as a member, you're not just another customer. You're a stakeholder in our credit union, who has a voice in everything we do. So we would like to say thank you for your loyalty to us and your role in where we are today.

Community Involvement

Not only has Atlantic Regional been responsible in protecting our assets over the years, we have also taken an active role within the communities that we serve. As a community credit union, the communities we serve are very near and dear to our hearts. That's why we strive to take an active role in giving back to the communities that give us so much.

A Member-Owned Financial Cooperative:

  • Atlantic Regional is a financial cooperative owned and operated by its members, which distinguishes credit unions from other financial institutions. Members deposit money into savings, and that money, in turn, is lent to other members. After operating expenses and reserve requirements are met, loan income is returned to all members in the form of dividends and comprehensive financial services.
  • The volunteers that serve on the Board of Directors are elected by the entire membership and are also credit union members. The Board establishes and reviews credit union policy. They serve without pay! Every member has one vote, regardless of how much he or she has on deposit.
  • Atlantic Regional is a $254 million dollar financial institution, committed to providing all of our members with the highest quality, fairly-priced financial products and services, and supporting the communities we serve through volunteer and charitable activities.
  • Atlantic Regional is a federally-chartered credit union organized and operated under strict regulatory laws that are monitored and enforced by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the U.S. Government.
