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.

Absolutely A Great C.U.

Posted by: gbtexas | May 27, 2017

I would recommend this place any day of the week, in spite of a few shortcomings. On the whole the Customer service reps are extraordinarily friendly, with most able to help.

One shortcoming is their preferred mailing address to send the $ to fund a CD. My experience is that mailing it to one of the branches in West Jordan produces more rapid results, whereas one time it took them 3 days after racing my check to credit it to my CDs. I was told that they received so many checks that it took them from Monday to Wednesday to get caught up. Hmm, I thought. Does this seem plausible. My conclusion was that it was possible, but extremely unlikely, that is unless only one person was doing the work.

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!

Avoide If You Are Apply From Out Of UT

Posted by: buskya2004 | Aug 23, 2016

After seeing good rates for 5 year CD I directed to apply for an account at Mountain America CU. I was able to get hold of customer service using 800 number. First time a representative said that you can open an account online and set up the CD online. So I applied for a membership savings account to become a member. BEWARE - They do a hard pull on credit. After applying, an email was sent with application id. Nothing happened for a day so I called and was directed to new application department. The representative said that I have to get my application notarized since I am out of state which was not an issue. Then when asked for opening a CD, the representative said that I will have to wire transfer a fund for CD. NO ACH TRANSFER WAS AVAILABLE TO OPEN CD. I asked to cancel the application with a hard credit pull on me and my spouse credit report.
