The Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce recently held its First Annual Hall of Fame Awards Ceremony, celebrating the outstanding businesses that have made significant contributions to the region’s economic and social well-being. Among the honorees, Frontier Credit Union stood out for its financial responsibility, community engagement, and commitment to building better lives, earning its well-deserved place in the Hall of Fame alongside Melaleuca, Stukent, and Idaho National Labs.

This recognition highlights businesses that excel not only in profitability but also in their commitment to the community and long-term sustainability. Frontier Credit Union is a prime example of a local institution that has consistently exemplified these values, making an impact on both the financial landscape of Idaho Falls and the lives of its residents.

A Legacy of Service and Stability
Founded in 1935, Frontier Credit Union has a rich history of providing financial services that prioritize the needs of its members. Frontier has grown into one of the region’s most trusted and respected financial institutions. The credit union’s commitment to the financial well-being of its members, many of whom are local families, small businesses, and professionals, has made it an integral part of the Idaho Falls community.

Supporting Their Local Communities and Businesses
In addition to its role as a trusted financial institution, Frontier Credit Union is committed to community involvement. Over the years, the credit union has supported a range of local initiatives and charitable causes, from youth education and scholarships to local food banks and community development projects. Its employees volunteer their time, and the credit union often partners with local organizations to provide support where it’s needed most.

What Sets them Apart
What sets Frontier Credit Union apart from other financial institutions is its commitment to building better lives. Unlike for-profit banks, credit unions like Frontier are member-owned and not driven by the need to maximize profits for shareholders. This unique structure allows Frontier to focus on providing exceptional value to its members, often offering lower fees, higher savings rates, and more competitive loan products.

As one of the largest financial institutions in Idaho Falls, Frontier Credit Union plays a crucial role in supporting the local economy. Frontier has established its very own 501(c)(3) charity run by Frontier Credit Union employees. This foundation has been raising money for new shoes for less fortunate children throughout Idaho since 1987.

Looking Toward the Future
With plans to continue to expand, enhance its services, and continue its commitment to building better lives, Frontier is excited for its future. The award is not just a recognition of past accomplishments but a promise of continued service and leadership in the years to come.
