President's Message: It’s the People Who Matter

The credit union is closing out another successful year—our 86th. I could cite numbers here to illustrate everything we’ve accomplished, but for an organization that’s wholly committed to helping people, I think the personal moments with and victories of members are often the best way to measure success.

Warm the Soles of Kids

Brighten every step children take this year by joining an enduring holiday tradition: Warm the Soles of Kids. Due to your generous assistance, we donate new shoes to economically disadvantaged students in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico & Utah.

Get $300 & the Best in Benefits

Helping your money do more™ means getting the most out of every dollar. That’s why, through the end of the year, open a new America First Visa® credit card, spend $3,000 within 90 days, and you’ll benefit from $300!

A Perfect Present

This holiday season, if you’re not sure what to get the young people in your life, consider giving them the gift of membership in America First. Not only is learning sound financial habits and money management the gift that keeps on giving, but right now children and teens can receive $50 for opening new America First accounts.

Prevent Fraud by Staying Cautious

At America First, we’re committed to helping members recognize the warning signs of suspicious activity, protect their personal information & secure their financial assets. Because scams intended to access accounts and steal money are unfortunately common.
