$1 Billion In Assets

November 27, 2013

Goldenwest Credit Union recently reached a historic milestone with assets exceeding $1 billion for the first time. This achievement is attributed to 77 years of member loyalty, sound business practices, and innovative growth strategies. The recent merger with USU Credit Union propelled Goldenwest to the $1 billion mark a year or so ahead of our original projections.

For many people, it’s the busiest and most expensive time of the year. As always, our credit union wants to save your family money. I encourage you to consider the special offers we are extending to members during the holiday season.

Take advantage of our Black Friday special with auto loans as low as 2.25% Fixed Annual Percentage Rate or $250 cash back on a VISA Reload Card. This offer is available on new purchases, as well as loans refinanced from other financial institutions. Apply online beginning Thursday, November 28 through Saturday, November 30 to take advantage of this special offer. Our branches and call center will be open during normal operating hours on both Friday and Saturday to help you save money on your auto loan.

For members with existing Goldenwest auto and RV loans, consider our skip-a-payment special offer. Most financial institutions charge a fee for this service, but Goldenwest will not charge fees to members choosing to skip loan payments during the holiday season. Members with loans in good standing can skip one principal payment per loan beginning now through January 15, 2014. Stop by any branch or contact our call center for details and eligibility requirements.

Finally, earn triple ExtraAwards points on all purchases made with your Goldenwest VISA Rewards credit card through December 31st. It’s a great way to earn points towards gift cards, travel, cash back and more.

On behalf of Goldenwest, we wish you a wonderful holiday season with your family. I invite you to follow me on Twitter @GoldenwestCUCEO for the latest news about our credit union.
