Select Employer Group Information

Select Employer Group

Denali Alaskan is a federally charted not-for-profit financial cooperative.  In order for an individual to be a member, a person needs to be an employee or member of one of your Select Employer Groups (SEG). Becoming a SEG is easy and free; it offers a no-liability relationship between and organization and Denali Alaskan which serves to promote each other through marketing and membership opportunities. Denali Alaskan currently boasts about 570 groups which make up our field of membership and we are always excited to foster new SEG relationships.

Becoming a Select Employer Group

There is a formal process in which organizations can become a Denali Alaskan SEG. Here’s how: 1) simply fill in the blanks of the SEG Questionnaire and either the Business Letter of Request or the Association Letter of Request (Association Letter is for membership based groups, i.e. clubs, churches, sports teams)* 2) Have the letter signed by the organizations manager, president, owner or HR manager, depending on the group’s structure. 3) Copy the letter off on to your letterhead, and 4) Fax the letter to Eileen Thompson at 907-222-5818. The request will be presented to Denali Alaskan’s board of directors for approval, and then forwarded onto our federal regulator, the National Credit Union Administration, for inclusion in our Charter. The process is fairly simple and takes only a few days.
