America First Credit Union Announces Opening of New Riverton Branch

New location to replace in-store branch to better serve Riverton and surrounding communities with new technology and expanded services

RIVERTON, Utah (January 6, 2024) – America First Credit Union (AFCU) today announced the opening of its new Riverton Branch. This modern, free-standing branch replaces the Riverton Walmart Branch, which first opened in 2008, and is an extension of the growth the credit union has seen in the area as well as its continued commitment to serving members on the west side of Salt Lake County.

The Riverton Branch is designed to better serve the financial needs of the local community, which includes nearly 16,000 AFCU members and a diverse population of approximately 45,000 residents. Additionally, the branch is expected to draw traffic from neighboring communities such as Bluffdale, Herriman, South Jordan, and Draper, offering enhanced services for individuals and businesses alike.

“This new branch reflects our ongoing dedication to creating state-of-the-art financial services experiences and strengthening relationships in our community,” said Heather Flinders, Vice President, South Central Branches. “This beautiful facility will help us expand the exceptional service our members expect from America First Credit Union.”

• Enhanced Drive-Up Features: Two drive-up lanes, and a new canopy design over video teller machines has been constructed for improved accessibility.
