An Employee Benefit That Won’t Cost You a Dime
We are proud to serve the employees of many companies in our neighborhoods and across the nation through our Select Employer Group program. Our history began as a credit union founded to help improve the lives of employees at local grocery stores, and as we continue to grow, we carry those same values in the partnerships we form with local companies and organizations.



Financial Wellness Program
Did you know 52% of employees are stressed about their finances and 25% of employees are distracted at work? American First Credit Union partners with local employers to offer a complimentary Financial Wellness program to reduce financial stress and increase productivity in the workplace. As a non-profit organization, employees will also enjoy a variety of Savings and Loan products, with more perks and competitive interest rates than regular banks can offer. With your employees’ financial being as our top priority, we offer confidential financial counseling, on-site or virtual workshops on a variety of topics, and a dedicated Business Development Account Executive to address your employees’ unique, financial needs.
