Whether providing savings and checking accounts, loans, credit cards, or certificates of deposit, they will take the time necessary to guarantee their understanding of their members financial goals and aspirations, making sure they do everything they can to help accomplish them.

Due to a cash-reliant customer base in certain areas of the Modesto community, Valley First Credit Union offers a comprehensive set of alternatives, including financial education and awareness, enhanced access to banking services, and promoting alternative payment options. The team works hard to actively promote electronic payment methods. When local residents are concerned about the safety of these transactions, Valley First can provide them with proof that their practices are sound and secure. “By combining these efforts,” credit union spokesperson Chris Hewitt says, “we aim to create a safer, more financially inclusive environment in Modesto, where our community has access to the tools and knowledge they need to reduce their reliance on cash.”

the team is committed to providing a customized loan and repayment plan for businesses of all sizes, with reasonable interest rates. And this convenience extends beyond the loan borrowing process, including reduced general fees and favorable terms for both loans and savings accounts.

Valley First Credit Union offers all the same things that members would find at larger banks, but it brings these benefits to the table along with a credit union experience. Besides its online and mobile banking options, it also offers accessibility to over 40,000 shared ATMs. At the heart of everything the people at Valley First do, is a desire to be community and member-centric, offering a not-for-profit structure.

Every single one of their transactions is designed for the benefit of their members, not profits for shareholders. They back up their commitment to the Modesto community with action, continually supporting local charities and non-profit organizations.

To top it all off, their investments are prioritized by proximity. The majority of reinvestments go to local businesses and neighbors, not only giving back to the community itself but ensuring their members’ money stays close to home.

Bringing commitment to the citizens of Modesto’s financial well-being right alongside the follow-through in giving them necessary tools to achieve it, Valley First Credit Union is determined to see their members and community thrive. “If someone is looking for a place to do their business banking where they can feel valued but not trade this for… business banking services, then Valley First can help,” Hewitt says.

With big bank services and a credit union feel, Valley First is the place to go for all one’s commercial and personal banking needs.

The foundation of Joanna’s Bail Bonds is honest, hard-work, and unrivaled customer service. Since 2004, the company has offered comprehensive capabilities and deep industry knowledge necessary to solve the most complex issues regarding bail.

All agents and personnel hold the same values of compassion, understanding, and a commitment to excellence as they constantly improve to work on behalf of their clients.

As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, Valley First Credit Union is in business for its members. It provides quality financial services to the growing and diverse community. Unlike a bank, the money made is given back to members in the form of higher dividend rates on savings and lower interest rates on loans. Additionally, the money deposited by credit union members is, in turn, loaned out to other members.

With a philosophy of “people helping people,” Valley First Credit Union provides exceptional customer service to its members.

Unlike banks, who are in business for their stockholders, the credit union prioritizes its members and goes above and beyond to help them. Members appreciate the friendly and helpful team who work hard to take care of each client and make each experience easy and productive.
