Our History

Allegius Credit Union began its roots as Bethlehem Employees Federal Credit Union (BEFCU) in 1966. It was officially chartered March 30, 1966 with 25 charter members with the field of membership including employees of Bethlehem Steel Corporation who worked in Burns Harbor, Indiana, and members of Local 6787 United Steelworkers of America. Soon after - immediate family members became eligible to join BEFCU as well.

From the humble beginnings of BEFCU visionaries to the current Allegius Federal Credit Union, the tradition of a caring, member-owned, and full-service financial institution has carried forth over the past 5 decades. Throughout these last 50 years Allegius has become a part of your families with so many members passing down membership as a family tradition…and for that we thank you! In addition, to many others we have become a neighbor who is there if a need arises or some good advice is wanted.

Come on over and don’t be afraid to see what we can do to assist you with that car loan dilemma, to ease your worry about retirement, to get that better checking account and other personal aspirations we might be able to assist you with.
