90 Years and Counting!

This year marks the 90th Anniversary of Glacier Hills Credit Union, and we are celebrating! We’re celebrating you—our members who have put your trust in us—as well as this community that welcomes us every day. We celebrate our team members who believe in the value of credit unions and live the work that we do. Finally, we celebrate the people who came before us who built this incredible organization.

"Our 90th Anniversary is a time to reflect on how far we have come from being the credit union for the employees of the Aluminum Company to being your community credit union we are today. It is a testament to the dedication and shared sense of purpose we have for our communities and members. It is also a time to express gratitude for your trust along your financial journey." —Tami Winkler, President / CEO

Throughout 2024 we’ll be finding different ways to commemorate this milestone and honor our members whose loyalty is the key to our longevity. We’ll keep you posted!

Stay Safe. Stay Informed.

Every tax season we see scams that try to collect your personal data or even steal your refund. Thousands of people have lost millions of dollars and their personal information to these fraudsters in recent years, so we encourage you to stay alert. Scammers generally impersonate the IRS or state revenue departments using postal mail, telephone or email to target individuals with communications that look and sound very authentic.

REMEMBER: The IRS and state revenue departments do not initiate contact with taxpayers by telephone, email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information. Learn how to recognize the telltale signs of a scam and make sure you know how to tell if it’s really the IRS calling or knocking on your door.

How to stay safe: Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from the IRS or your state tax revenue agency. Do not provide any personal or financial information and contact us or the agency in question directly if you think you’ve been a target.

Stay Safe. Stay Informed.
