Who is Alice?
Alice is an artificial intelligence (AI) powered digital assistant whose sole job is to help you get there. Whether that be answering a question, checking your balance, or transferring money, Alice can help.
When you dial our number, you’ll be greeted by Alice. Although Alice is a digital assistant, you can speak to her naturally, asking your questions as you would speak to anyone else. If Alice doesn’t understand your request or can’t help with it, you’ll be forwarded to our Service Support representative to make sure you get the help you need.
Alice, our digital assistant, is named after one of our founders, Alice C. Falb. Alice was one of the educators that started our credit union in 1937. Sadly, Alice is no longer with us, she passed away in 1994. Alice loved the credit union and is very passionate about the credit union movement. She had an amazing personality and was truly passionate about our membership. In our early days, she knew practically every member. In 1994, her funeral procession passed through our main office one last time and all our staff came out to wave their final goodbyes.
Through the magic of technology, we can keep Alice’s passion for helping our members, her quirky personality and her legacy continues on for our current and future members to experience.
Our version of Alice will need some time and a bit of patience to get her acquainted to all the new efficiencies and technological advancements available to her to better serve you. Not to mention, getting to know you, our members, once again. Alice, in future iterations, can identify you accurately by simply hearing your voice.
So, as we embark on this task of training Alice, we ask for you to try it and experience her service for yourselves. We promise she will get much better over time and while she’s in training, she has the full support of our entire team at Greater Alliance, ready to jump in. Each of those pinch hit efforts by our team members will be learning experience for Alice and will make her better.

- Checking Balance and transaction
