Financial Institutions in Alaska

To be honest, Alaska is not very rich in financial institutions. Therefore, you may have to make an effort to find what is closest to you. Or a financial institution that matches your needs and wants. 

Here are some of the largest financial institutions in Alaska: 

Banking Securities. Banking Securities regulates state depository and non-depository financial institutions, administers and enforces Alaska’s financial services laws, and provides information for consumers, investors, entrepreneurs, and regulated industries. They have three primary functional areas; licensing, examinations, and enforcement.

Alaska USA Financial Center. Alaska USA Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial services cooperative providing members’ service, value, and convenience. With a full range of financial services, members have everything in one place, including checking and savings accounts, consumer loans, and credit cards. 

First National Bank Alaska Corporate. The bank’s multi-part mission is to safe keep depositors’ money, provide all legitimate financial services to the community consistent with bank resources, furnish employees with competitive salaries and a pleasant working environment, and earn a proper return for shareholders. In 2022, Alaska Business readers voted First National the “Best of Alaska Business” in the Best Place to Work category for the seventh year in a row and Best Bank/Credit Union for the second year running.

Northrim Bank. Northrim began as a small group with a big idea and turned into a start-up bank operating from a trailer in a parking lot, then grew into a trusted, statewide financial institution. Northrim’s founders knew that Alaska needed a new type of bank – a strong, independent, local bank with community and customer service at its heart. Today, Northrim has matured from a small community bank with 21 employees, one branch, and $8 million in assets to an active, engaged community leader with well over 400 employees, branches from Fairbanks to Southeast Alaska, residential mortgage origination offices across the state, and more than $2 billion in assets.
