Our History

Formed in 1934, Mountain America was originally the Salt Lake Telephone Employees Credit Union. However, after merging with Postal Workers Credit Union in 1984, the credit union changed its name to Mountain America to better reflect the diversity of our membership. In 1988, Mountain America merged with Utah State Credit Union, becoming the second largest credit union in Utah and setting our course as a modern, full-service financial institution.

Today, our extensive network of branches and ATMs spans much of the Intermountain West, including Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. We also belong to an extensive shared branching network as well as several ATM networks, including the CO-OP Network,which allows members to complete surcharge-free transactions at more than 25,000 ATMs nationwide.
