Recently named one of Utah's Best Places to Work, America First Credit Union offers dynamic career opportunities in a broad array of rewarding
capacities.

Our mission is to provide personal financial services of a superior quality to the members/owners; our chief concern being their financial well-being.

We desire to be the primary financial institution of our members. We will use automation and technology to support a highly trained group of volunteers and staff.

Professional managers will be accountable for the quality of service and will be given sufficient flexibility in implementing policy to ensure that the member perceives the highest degree of excellence in every contact.

Professional marketing will provide aggressive programs to sustain and increase growth. We will seek our growth both from new members and by serving the financial needs of present members in a more complete manner. We will not sacrifice quality of present services to seek growth.

In order to provide quality member services, the credit union must remain financially sound and secure. Adequate operating controls, capital reserves and liquidity will be maintained at all times.

We will be sales oriented in our approach to members, but traditional credit union philosophy will remain our guiding principle. Among financial institutions, this credit union is a unique organization with deep and abiding human values. Our goal is to maintain those qualities.

We offer a full range of excellent benefits* to our employees, which include:

• Annual and Sick Leave: 30-hr/40-hr employees begin accruing leave on the date of hire. Employees are eligible to use leave after completing their 90-day review period.
