Mountain America Credit Union Recognized with Two Best of State Awards

At its annual gala, Best of State awarded Mountain America Credit Union two awards: Best Credit Union and Best Corporate Wellness Program.

"We're honored that Best of State recognized us in two categories," said Sterling Nielsen, president and CEO of Mountain America Credit Union. "These awards highlight our team members' achievements in taking care of our members, and the strength of our culture."

Over the past ten years, Mountain America has grown its assets from $3 billion to over $19 billion and expanded its membership base from 400,000 to over one million across six states. This growth has positioned Mountain America as the ninth largest credit union in the United States, highlighting its strong performance and service quality.

Mountain America stands out for its ethical practices and excellent workplace environment. It was recognized nationally as one of the top five places to work by USA Today, underscoring its commitment to employees and culture. The credit union has also been recognized regionally as a top workplace in Idaho, Arizona, and Nevada. Recent innovations like the 40/15 First Time Homebuyer Mortgage and multicultural engagement programs including branches designated as Spanish hubs with enhanced Spanish-speaking capabilities showcase its commitment to developing products that serve its members' specific needs.

In addition to comprehensive healthcare benefits, Mountain America provides free resources for employees—meal prep with a dietitian, online fitness classes, personal or family counseling, onsite health clinic, wellness facilities, ergonomic furniture, and subscriptions to wellness programs that encourage a positive health and wellness lifestyle.
