8 credit unions based in Alaska filed 1.04M members and $16.6B in assets with the National Credit Union Administration for June 30, 2026. Only 8 credit unions are based in Alaska, the shortest list of any state, and Global Federal Credit Union in Anchorage alone reports $13.0B and 809K members. It also reports offices in Washington state, so it is not an Alaska-only institution. Combined net worth stands at 10.38%, thinner than the 11.42% recorded nationwide. Late payments run ahead of the country, with 1.33% of loans two or more months behind against 0.96%. 1 filers report one branch or none, the lowest share. The top three names hold 94.4% of assets, the highest share. The list fell 11.1% in a year, the 2nd highest drop. Offices by city: Anchorage (26), Wasilla (10), Fairbanks (8), Juneau (6), out of 34 places in 18 counties. Gone since last year: Mac FCU ($179M). Latest charter: Credit Union 1, 1982, with none since 2000. The file does not say who may join any of them, or why a charter stopped filing.

One institution holds most of the state
That reach changes how the state totals read: the 1.04M members counted here belong to filers based in Alaska, and some live elsewhere, so the figure does not say how many Alaskans belong. Delinquency for the state is above the national rate. NuVision Federal Credit Union, based outside Alaska, reports 10 offices here, which adds choice in a thin market.
Highest net worth (over $100 million): Credit Union 1, 15.48%. Fewest late loans: Tongass FCU, 0.43%. Global FCU leads on members, 809K, and branches, 77. Largest member change: Credit Union 1, +19.74%. Next by assets: Tongass FCU, True North FCU, Northern Skies FCU, Spirit of Alaska FCU, Alaska Dist Engineers FCU. Largest outside presence: NuVision FCU, from CA, 10 offices.
True North FCU (50.5%) leans most on vehicle loans, Spirit of Alaska FCU (40.4%) on first-lien home loans, Credit Union 1 (5.4%) on cards. Oldest charters: Global FCU, 1948; Matanuska Valley FCU, 1948; True North FCU, 1948. Alaska Dist Engineers FCU lost the most members in percentage terms, -2.32%, among those over $10 million.
