Our members are busy...I see that every day. In our credit union, we are particularly aware that time is money. That’s why we provide value to our members with our many free services with convenience in mind. It’s our goal to save you money and time.

Credit unions share a unique spirit of cooperation that is rarely found in today’s competitive business world. Goldenwest has partnered with hundreds of other credit unions, giving our members free access to 5,000+ shared branches through the Credit Union Service Center network.

Each month our members conduct thousands of transactions on their Goldenwest accounts at these shared branch locations. Likewise, members from other credit unions conduct transactions at Goldenwest offices.

Goldenwest is a member of the CO-OP ATM Network, giving you surcharge-free access at nearly 30,000 ATMs worldwide. In the credit union spirit of ‘People Helping People,’ the vast majority of credit unions in the U.S. participate in the CO-OP ATM Network. CO-OP Network ATMs can also be found at 7-Eleven, Costco and Walgreens locations.

Our online and mobile apps are one-hundred percent free. Furthermore, we offer free bill pay, free mobile check deposit, free VISA cards and free eAlerts. Goldenwest still offers free checking with all the bells and whistles...no minimum balance required.

You may wonder how Goldenwest can provide so many free services. It’s simple...we exist to serve our members. We are a safe and financially sound credit union that is driven by high return to member, not high profits for stockholders. As members utilize more of our products and services, the credit union earns greater income which allows us to continue offering free checking and other free services. It’s the credit union philosophy of ‘People Helping People’ in action.

If you appreciate the many free and convenient services offered by Goldenwest, I invite you to become a credit union advocate. Join your voice with thousands of other credit union members across the nation to preserve our not-for-profit status.

We have many exciting projects coming on-board to provide even more convenience and value for our 88,000+ members. Follow me on Twitter at @GoldenwestCUCEO for the latest news from Goldenwest Credit Union.

Best wishes for a fun and safe summer!
