About ACPE
History
Albany County Teachers Credit Union was founded in 1957 to
service Albany County School District Teachers. In 1986, this entity
merged with Gem City Credit Union, which serviced City of
Laramie, Federal, Postal, and State employees to form
Albany County Public Employees Federal Credit Union. In 1997,
the employees of KOWB/KCGY Radio and Laramie Eye Clinic were
adopted into the field of membership. In December, 2000, the
credit union received a federal community charter and officially
became ACPE Federal Credit Union, currently having 4,400 members
with assets over $38 million and still growing. Membership is now
open to anyone living, working, worshipping or volunteering in
Albany or Carbon County, WY. The main office is located at 2835
Grand Avenue in Laramie, Wyoming.

To be a member of ACPE Federal Credit Union, there are two requirements:
