SANDY, Utah, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mountain America Credit Union is proud to announce its recognition as a “Best for Membership Perks” by Money.com in its annual review of the top banks and credit unions in the world United States. This award underscores Mountain America’s commitment to providing exceptional benefits and services to its members.

Money’s methodology for determining the best credit unions included a comprehensive review of the 20 largest credit unions in the country, ranked by assets as determined by the National Credit Union Administration. The evaluation prioritized credit unions with flexible membership requirements to make them accessible to a broader audience.

“We are honored to be named a Best Credit Union for Membership Perks by Money.com,” said Sterling Nielsen, President and CEO of Mountain America. “This award reflects our commitment to providing our members with the best possible financial products and services. Our members are at the heart of everything we do and we are committed to helping them achieve their financial goals.”

The methodology focused on several key data points including minimum opening balance; interest rates paid; monthly fees charged; and online accessibility. In addition, ATM usage fees, overdrafts and insufficient funds, wire transfers and overdraft protection were included in the analysis. The focus was on checking and savings accounts that offered high interest rates, required no opening or minimum balance, and charged few or no fees. Online and mobile accessibility, additional discounts or rewards and the size of the ATM network were also taken into account.

“This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” said Nathan Anderson, Chief Operating Officer at Mountain America. “We are committed to providing innovative solutions and exceptional service to our members, and it is gratifying that our efforts are being recognized nationally.”

Mountain America member benefits also include free telehealth services, cell phone insurance and identity monitoring when members open a MyStyle checking account.

Mountain America continues to be a leader in the financial industry, offering a wide range of products and services tailored to the diverse needs of its members. As the only Utah-based credit union recognized in this year’s review, Mountain America remains true to its mission of providing financial education, advice and support to its community.
