Deposit Services
Accounts at Alternatives Credit Union are designed to meet our mission, and our social mission is integrated into our economic mission. We have designed our deposit accounts to meet the financial needs of the members of this community, including members with a lower income.
Our savings accounts have no monthly service charges or transaction fees, and only a $5 minimum balance requirement. Dividends are earned on balances above $5.
Share draft (checking) accounts are also offered to anyone who lives in Ithaca, Tompkins County, and the adjacent counties of Cayuga, Chemung, Cortland, Schuyler, Seneca and Tioga.
Certain deposits are available immediately, but we will place a "hold" on others. See our check hold policy for details.
Certificates can be started with as little as $100, and offer competitive dividend rates.
Routing information for direct deposits to Alternatives Credit Union members: routing and transit number (also known as ABA number) is 2213 8186 7.

International Wires
Because we are not set up to directly receive international wires, we do not have a SWIFT code.
