SANDY, Utah, Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mountain America Credit Union was named to Utah Business’ Fast 50 list for the sixth consecutive year, placing it among Utah’s fastest-growing companies as it marks 90 years of serving members. Presented by Utah Business in partnership with Kirton McConkie and Tanner LLC, the Fast 50 ranks companies based on total five-year revenue and compound annual growth rate.
Mountain America’s continued inclusion on the Fast 50 list reflects a rare combination of longevity and growth. As financial needs continue to evolve, the credit union has remained focused on innovation, service and delivering value to members, fueling its momentum across the region.
“In many ways, our story runs counter to conventional wisdom,” said Sterling Nielsen, president and CEO at Mountain America Credit Union. “Ninety years after our founding, we’re still growing at a rate that places us among Utah’s fastest-growing companies. That kind of sustained momentum is possible because we’ve never lost sight of who we serve and why we exist.”
Mountain America’s recognition reflects nearly a century of sustainable growth and service, an achievement that distinguishes the credit union among many high-growth organizations recognized by the Fast 50 program.
Founded in 1936, Mountain America has grown into one of the nation’s largest credit unions, serving millions of members across the western U.S. while maintaining its commitment to personalized service and community impact.
As Mountain America celebrates 90 years of service, it continues to achieve significant milestones, including:
- Ranking as the eighth-largest credit union in the U.S.
- Earning a place among USA Today’s Top 10 Workplaces nationally for the third consecutive year, ranking No. 7 nationally and first among all financial institutions.
- Being named the No. 1 credit union in the U.S. for SBA lending for 22 consecutive years.
