Mountain America Honored as a Top 2021 Best Credit Union to Work For

Mountain America Credit Union is proud to announce it was named one of American Banker’s Best Credit Unions to Work For. Among the 55 institutions ranked, Mountain America received first place in asset size and third place overall. 

“We are honored to be named a Best Credit Union to Work For,” says Sterling Nielsen, president and chief executive officer at Mountain America Credit Union. “By hiring and retaining top talent, we provide our members with personalized experiences and expert guidance as they define and achieve their financial dreams.” 

While Mountain America is one of the fastest-growing credit unions in the nation, it also focuses on creating an exceptional workplace where employees feel valued and have opportunities to grow. One unique employee benefit is the Mountain America Cares Fund—employees donate to fund grants to help fellow team members in need. To promote wellness, the credit union offers online wellness groups, virtual workout classes, financial education workshops and more. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, work flexibility increased to protect employee health and well-being. Also, COVID-19 tests and vaccines are readily available at the on-site clinic at Mountain America’s headquarters. 

Employees are also encouraged to contribute to their communities. Each employee is granted paid time off to perform acts of service during the Month of Caring event held each September.
