Mountain America Credit Union celebrates the opening of 100th branch

Utah — Mountain America Credit Union is pleased to announce the opening of its 100th branch, located in Henderson, Nevada, at 3451 St. Rose  Parkway. In celebration, the credit union hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony with community members on September 7, 2021.  

This is Mountain America’s fifth branch in Nevada, and it provides businesses and consumers in this fast-growing area with convenient access to financial services. The branch lobby and drive-up are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.  

“Our convenient branch locations are just one of myriad ways we provide our members with exceptional service,” says Sterling Nielsen, president and CEO at Mountain  America Credit Union. “We continue to grow and thrive because we live by our members-first  philosophy in everything we do.”

Recently, the credit union partnered with Operation Warm to gift new shoes to students at Acelero Learning Head Start in Henderson, Nevada.
