Community Support for Local Non-Profits

For years, the annual United Way Fundraising Campaign has provided vital support to our local non-profits until the pandemic severely impacted donations.

Charities, and their clients, suffered from the loss of support. This year, local business leaders have pledged to bring the 2022 United Way Campaign to pre-pandemic fundraising levels, and Glacier Hills Credit Union has loved being part of the effort.

For the United Way Campaign Kickoff this year, our West Bend staff helped package 60,000 meals for people in need in Washington County. Check out the 2022 United Way Campaign Introduction video here.

United, we stand

Three Little Numbers that Can Change Your Life

Imagine that your three numbers are 6, 2, and 0. And because of that, you can’t buy the car you need. Crazy, right? Your credit score (aka FICO® score) is truly one of the most important numbers you’ll ever have, so understanding how it works is critical. If you’re not sure where to start, Glacier Hills has the tools and expertise to demystify your FICO® score. Start by enrolling in our interactive online program, Credit Sense.

This powerful tool provides real-time information about your credit score—what’s working for you and what’s working against you. You’ll also learn about the different elements that affect your credit score, helping you better understand your financial health. Plus, the staff at Glacier Hills is always available to explain and advise you on how best to manage your FICO® score. To learn more, visit our Education Center and click Credit Sense or call us for an appointment.

Get your numbers right

You Never Expect a Rainy Day

Living the life you want isn’t always cheap, especially with rising costs for everything from gas to peanut butter. So, saving money for a rainy day probably seems out of the question.

That’s why we offer the Pathway Savings Account. Paying a 5.00% Annual Percentage Yield** for balances up to $500, Pathway Savings makes it easy to set aside a little money for that unexpected car repair or doctor’s visit. Contact us today to get started.

Be ready for rain
