The History of East Idaho Credit Union

East Idaho Credit Union was founded in 1935 under the name Idaho Falls U.S. Government Employees Federal Credit Union.  In 1963, the name was changed to East Idaho Federal Credit Union and in 1988 became East Idaho Credit Union.  Today, it remains the oldest Credit Union in Eastern Idaho.  Of the sixteen credit unions started in 1935, only two remain today.

With its stable member base of government employees, East Idaho Credit Union operates under both a community charter and an expanded charter based on occupation.  A solid, well established financial institution, East Idaho Credit Union provides local services to small and under-served communities in Eastern Idaho.

One of the key strengths and point of differentiation for East Idaho Credit Union is the stability and longevity of its staff.  Many employees have worked at the Credit Union for over 20 years.

East Idaho Credit Union currently operates in Idaho Falls, Shelley, Rexburg, St. Anthony, Dubois, Arco, Challis and Salmon and serves more than 30,000 members. It is operated by the members, for the members, to improve the financial situations of individuals, families, and local businesses. Its daily operations are guided by the credit union philosophy of Not for profit, Not for charity, But for service.
