Pittsburgh, PA - July 9, 2025 - On July 9, 2025, members of Alcoa Pittsburgh Federal Credit Union (FCU) overwhelmingly voted in favor of merging with CHROME Federal Credit Union (FCU), signifying official approval to start the merging process.
"For over 85 years, we've been honored to serve our members with dedication and heart. As we prepare to merge with CHROME, we do so with deep gratitude for the trust you've placed in us over the years," said John Foody Jr., President of the Alcoa Pittsburgh FCU Board of Directors. "This merger will bring you greater access to services and resources, while preserving the personal service and values that have always defined us. What matters most isn't changing—our commitment to putting you, our members, first."
Rooted in Southwestern Pennsylvania, CHROME FCU has served its members for over 50 years, delivering local service and great products. Like Alcoa Pittsburgh, CHROME’s values are member-focused. CHROME, initially known as Washington Steel FCU, was started in 1971 by seven employees to serve the hard-working employees of Washington Steel Company. Over the years, CHROME has expanded to become a community charter serving over 13,000 members, emphasizing exceptional member service, top-rated technology, and a continuous dedication to community service. Anyone can join CHROME FCU if they live, work, attend school, or worship in Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Greene, Fayette, Washington, or Westmoreland county.
What’s Next?
There will be no immediate changes to Alcoa Pittsburgh members’ accounts, including loans, debit and credit cards, and/or online banking. You can expect business as usual until the data integration is completed in the first quarter of 2026.
The Alcoa Pittsburgh Isabella Street Branch will remain open, and members will still see the familiar faces of the current Alcoa employees. Alcoa Pittsburgh’s President of the Board of Directors, John Foody, will join CHROME Federal Credit Union’s Board of Directors in August 2025. Leading up to this integration, Alcoa and CHROME team members will be in constant contact with Alcoa Pittsburgh members to provide updates and timelines for changes coming in 2026.
