Mountain America Credit Union is a Utah-based, federally chartered credit union that serves hundreds of thousands of members through numerous branches located in the American West. The credit union provides a range of financial services and products, from deposit accounts and investment products to consumer and small business loans.

On its personal banking side, MACU offers checking, savings, money market, term deposit, and IRA accounts, as well as youth products. Its free checking account offer comes with free online banking, bill pay, and a MACU Visa debit card. The credit union’s saving account provides easy access to funds, a daily compounded interest rate, and quick fund transfer capabilities. Money market accounts have a minimum balance requirement and offer the earnings of a CD with the flexibility of a savings account. Term deposits functions as CDs and are available in term lengths ranging from 6 months to 5 years. MACU has a section of their website devoted to youth products and games. One account designed for teenagers offers quarterly member drawings for nice prizes.

Mountain America Credit Union online banking provides easy account integration into Quicken or other financial management software so members can budget and plan out their finances. The web-based banking platform also allows members to transfer funds, view copies of cleared checks, deposit checks from home, and pay bills. MACU’s mobile banking apps allow the same functions and provide a convenient and quick for members to manage their accounts on the run.

MACU was originally formed in 1934 as the Salt Lake Telephone Employees Credit Union in order to serve employees of the Utah-based telephone company. 50 years later, in 1984, the credit union merged with Postal Workers Credit Union and changed its name to Mountain America Credit Union to better reflect its growing membership geography. The credit union is headquartered in West Jordan, Utah.

Not Your Ordinary Credit Union

Posted by: Adee Vain | Oct 18, 2016

We have been with America First Credit Union since 1994 and just opened an account with Mountain America a little over 3 yrs ago. The difference between these two in customer service, products, and fee's is night and day. Great rates, low fee's and I especially love that when I lose or damage a card, I can just walk right into any branch and get a new one... with AFCU I usually have to wait 7-10 business days which is such an inconvenience!

Be Patient: Ask Many Questions

Posted by: Elizabeth Burao Reegen | Mar 19, 2017

The 5 year cd rate for out of staters is worth the trouble: Do not deposit into your local credit union share account and transfer it to them as they recommend to fund your cd. Because the IRS considers it a cash transaction. The reps think they can do an ACH transaction (no can do) its only for bill pay. Have a supervisor produce a deposit slip email it to you and mail a check to them with it and wait like I am. We shall see!

Answering Phones

Posted by: Juemta Maravilla | Nov 10, 2015

For two days in a row I've called different branches. One in St. George Utah and one in Hurricane Utah. In both locations I've had people pick up the phone after about a 10-15 min. wait to just hang up the phone! One time they answer and told me we'll get back to you in less than 24 hours to resolve your issue (easy) and 24 hours later no call and I'm having the same issue with anyone picking up! I usually do my business through the ATM machine but that has his broken numerous times in the last month in the Hurricane area too. Up to now, I'd really like this bank but they are really struggling with answering their phones and hanging up on a customer is just unprofessional!

Incompotent

Posted by: Droy | 10 hours ago

Probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had with any Bank in my life. Bought a used car and the bank associate had no idea how to handle paperwork, leins, power of attorney, notarizations, and the list goes on. Took over 3 weeks to get it straightened out and they didn't provide the full documentation until we got several parties involved. If you want to waste your time and get the runaround go here if you value your time go somewhere else.
