America First Credit Union History

On June 23, 1947, the finance office of the United States Army at Fort Douglas was moved to the Utah General Distribution Depot in Ogden, Utah, and the credit union moved with it and renamed itself Federal Employees Credit Union.

Utah-chartered credit unions began serving anyone in the state and the credit union changed its name to America First Credit Union in 1984.

Beginning in 1998, a series of legal and legislative restrictions were placed on America First Credit Union's field of membership and its ability to make business loans.

In 2003, America First became federally chartered to protect its membership and serve its business members.

In 2004, it opened its first branch in Summit County, Utah, since the federal charter allows it to serve that county as well.

In 2005, it announced that it would offer Small Business Administration loans to its members.

On August 12, 2009 America First acquired Las Vegas based Community One Federal Credit Union following its closure by the National Credit Union Administration.
