ABOUT UTAH FIRST CREDIT UNION

The Utah First story began in 1935, in the midst of the Great Depression. A group of German immigrants were having a difficult time finding anyone to help them with the loans they needed to bring their families to America. They banded together to form a grassroots credit union that would serve all members of the community. Here, people found the positive answers' and opportunities' they needed to build their future. We've built our credit union around the idea of strengthening our community and creating excellent relationships.
