President's Message

For many of us, these early days of summer are more than just vacation season;  they’re a time when we’re invited to reflect on the good things in our lives and the freedoms we enjoy. That has definitely been true for me lately.  In particular, I’ve been thinking a lot about financial freedom.

Travel Safer with Card Guard®

Wherever you go this summer, Card Guard® can help you travel with confidence. You'll control when, where, and how your America First Visa® credit and debit cards can be used. Set limits based on transaction type, geographic location, spending amount, and merchant type, or simply turn your cards off when you’re not using them or if they’ve been lost or stolen.
