Naperville, Ill. – Alloya Corporate Federal Credit Union is honored to be a recipient of the 2025 Kim Bannan Eternal Flame Award. The award, named after California’s Credit Unions’ late vice president of credit union development and research and information, recognizes efforts that contribute to the success and future of Shapiro Group credit unions.
The award highlights the vital role Alloya plays in helping smaller credit unions thrive by offering knowledgeable, dependable and member-focused services tailored to their unique needs. Through its cooperative model, Alloya provides access to expert guidance, cutting-edge technology and back-office solutions that would otherwise be out of reach for many small institutions. Their team of account executives and investment representatives deliver personalized, strategic support, ensuring each credit union receives the attention and expertise needed to navigate complex financial landscapes.
“We are honored and thrilled to receive the Kim Bannan Eternal Flame Award,” said Tim Bruculere, Alloya’s Senior Vice President of Membership. “This award is a testament to Alloya’s dedication to serving small credit unions and offering opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible to them.”
Such opportunities include Alloya’s innovative loan participations platform, which has opened new avenues for small credit unions to manage risk and enhance lending capacity by pooling resources in a collaborative, efficient way. Alloya has also been a leader in the industry-wide effort to make real-time payments accessible for credit unions of all sizes, helping them stay competitive in a fast-paced digital environment. Additionally, Alloya assists credit unions with system conversions, offering hands-on support to streamline processes, reduce disruptions and improve overall efficiency. Alloya’s consistent reliability and high-touch service foster trust and confidence, allowing smaller credit unions to focus on what matters most — building strong member relationships and strengthening their communities.
“In everything we do, we remain committed to the credit union mission of people helping people. We are dedicated to the growth and flourishing of all our member credit unions and look forward to continuing to offer the high level of service that our members have come to expect,” Bruculere concluded.
