Valley Credit Union
Since 1949, Valley Credit Union has proudly served citizens within the Big Sky Country, which now includes 11 counties across Montana and Wyoming. From the beginning, we were founded on the promise to provide accommodating, personalized service, as well as top-notch financial services to our members. Those founding principles are the same driving force that still directs our mission today. Above all else, our primary motivation is always you. As a not-for-profit organization, we truly operate for the well being of our members. Unlike customers who just use the services of a financial institution, credit union members become part owners. And any profit generated is automatically put back into Valley Federal Credit Union to pay dividends, build reserves, and pay operating expenses. In that way, being a part of a credit union is really more like being a part of a close-knit family — one that functions for the betterment of all parties involved. If you are already a member of the Valley family, we'd like to thank you for your commitment to us. If you're not, we'd like to invite you to join a credit union that revolves around its members.
