Our Members Are Everything

October 18, 2024

As we move through the final quarter of 2024, I want to take a moment to thank our members for your continued trust and support. At Goldenwest Credit Union, our commitment is simple: we’ll take care of you—wherever you are, whenever you need us.

Serving with Purpose

For 88 years, Goldenwest Credit Union has operated as a not-for-profit financial cooperative, which means serving our members has always been—and will always be—our top priority. With the direction and support from our Board of Directors, we’re focused on enhancing your Credit Union experience every step of the way.

Our membership in Idaho has been growing quickly. We were thrilled to attend the ribbon cutting celebration of our first branch in Idaho Falls on October 16th. This new location joins our other Idaho branches in Rexburg, Boise, Eagle, and Post Falls. In addition, we recently broke ground on a new branch in Mountain Green, Utah. It’s been 19 years since we opened our first branch in Morgan County, and we’re excited to provide a second location to better serve our growing membership in the area.

We’ll Take Care of You

“We’ll take care of you” is more than just a tagline—it’s the motivation for everything we do. Each decision we make is focused on meeting your needs with affordable and convenient financial products and services without compromising value and security.

One example is our auto and homeowners’ insurance program. With dedicated agents at every branch, we’re able to connect you with top-rated carriers and help you save up to 35% on your premiums. Earlier this year, we also launched the Golden Rewards loyalty program. With Golden Rewards, members can enjoy a free, high-yield Gold Account. These are just two ways we’re delivering higher value to you.

Strengthening for the Future

I’m proud to share that Goldenwest is quickly approaching $3.4 billion in assets and continues to perform well in strength and stability. While we are actively investing in services and products to meet your needs, we’re also committed to safeguarding the Credit Union for generations to come.

Our members are everything to us. Without you nothing else matters. We look forward to helping you succeed—both personally and professionally.

Thank you for choosing Goldenwest Credit Union. Together, we’ll continue building a future of financial strength and success.
