ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Mountain Credit Union has been a trusted financial institution in Western North Carolina since 1963, offering a full range of financial products and services tailored to meet the needs of its members. With a focus on community-based banking, the credit union provides checking and savings accounts, auto and home loans, personal loans, credit cards, and investment options. Additionally, digital banking solutions such as mobile banking, online bill pay, and remote deposit capture make managing finances convenient and efficient.
“Our primary audience includes individuals and families who value a community-focused financial institution with personalized service,” said Chris Angel, vice president of marketing and business development at Mountain Credit Union. “We strive to offer competitive financial products while maintaining a strong commitment to our members.”
One key advantage of banking with a credit union, Angel noted, is the not-for-profit model, which allows profits to be reinvested into better rates, lower fees, and enhanced services for members. “Many people don’t realize that joining a credit union like Mountain Credit Union can lead to significant savings over time compared to traditional banks,” he said.
Founded on the principle of “people helping people,” Mountain Credit Union was established to provide accessible and affordable financial services to the local community. Over the years, its dedication to community service and financial education has remained steadfast.
The credit union offers a variety of educational resources, including workshops, webinars, and one-on-one financial counseling on topics such as budgeting, credit management, homebuying, and retirement planning. Online financial education and budgeting tools are also available for members of all ages.
Beyond financial services, Mountain Credit Union actively participates in community events and charitable initiatives. The institution supports local financial literacy programs, school sponsorships, charity fundraisers, and development initiatives. One of its signature events, the annual “Tee it Up” Golf Tournament, benefits Breakthrough T1D and its efforts in juvenile diabetes research.
With decades of service in the Asheville area and a commitment to helping members achieve financial stability and success, Mountain Credit Union continues to stand out as a trusted and community-driven financial partner.
