Branches across BC: 45 · US Modesto locations: 2 sites · Canadian ATM access: Thousands · Ownership: 100% Member Owned

Valley First credit union locations

The two Valley First entities cover different countries and vastly different service areas.

BC branches

Canadian Valley First operates 45 branches across British Columbia, concentrated in the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys (Valley First Official Site). Members also have access to thousands of credit union ATMs across Canada.

An example branch location:

Penticton and Vernon sites

The Canadian headquarters sits at 184 Main St Fl 3, Penticton, British Columbia, V2A 8G7 (ZoomInfo business profile). Specific Vernon branch details are not independently verified in available sources.

Modesto CA branch

The US Valley First Credit Union has administrative offices at 1005 West Orangeburg Ave., Ste. A, Modesto CA 95350, located one block west of College Avenue on Orangeburg Avenue (Modesto Chamber of Commerce). A branch location is reportedly at 3900 Sisk Rd, Modesto, CA 95356, with Monday hours of 09:00–17:30 (Waze map listing). The Modesto entity serves communities in Calaveras, Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare, and Tuolumne Counties.

The pattern: Canadian Valley First has a dense provincial branch network; the US entity has limited confirmed locations focused on Stanislaus County.

Valley First login

Accessing your Valley First account online depends entirely on which entity you belong to.

Online services access

  • Canadian members: Log in at valleyfirst.com/index/login — online banking, credit card login, and account management available (Valley First Official Site)
  • US members: Access online services at valleyfirstcu.org (specific login URL not detailed in available sources)

App login process

Canadian Valley First members can download the mobile app on a phone or tablet for balance checks, fund transfers, and full account management. US Valley First CU members should check valleyfirstcu.org directly for mobile banking options.

The catch

If you’re a Canadian member trying to log in at a .org address, you’re in the wrong place. Verify your country affiliation before attempting access.

Valley First Credit Union app

The mobile app story differs significantly between the two entities.

Download options

The Canadian Valley First app is available for phones and tablets. Specific download links (App Store, Google Play) are not listed in verified sources, but Canadian members can locate the app by searching “Valley First” in their device’s app store or by visiting valleyfirst.com on mobile.

App features

  • Cheque deposits: Mobile cheque deposit available through the Canadian app
  • Bill payments: Pay bills directly from the app
  • Account alerts: Set custom notifications for balance updates and transactions
  • Balance checks and transfers: Core account management functions available

Canadian Valley First is described as “a premier provider of banking, investment and insurance services for residents and businesses in the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys” (ZoomInfo business profile).

The catch

US Valley First CU mobile app details are not confirmed in publicly available sources. Members should contact (209) 549-8500 to ask about app availability before searching app stores.

Valley First credit union Canada vs Modesto

The most important thing to know: these are two entirely separate credit unions sharing a name.

Canadian Valley First overview

  • Structure: Division of First West Credit Union, B.C.’s third-largest credit union
  • Service area: Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys
  • Branch count: 45 branches across BC
  • ATM network: Access to thousands of credit union ATMs across Canada
  • Tagline: “Proudly Canadian and 100% Member Owned” (Valley First Official Site)
  • Revenue: Reported at $81.7 Million with 322 employees (ZoomInfo estimate)

US Valley First CU details

  • Structure: Independent not-for-profit financial cooperative owned by members
  • Service area: 12 Central California counties (Stanislaus, Fresno, Sacramento, and others)
  • Primary location: Modesto, California
  • Phone: (209) 549-8500
  • Tagline context: “Financial well-being meets community empowerment” (Modesto Chamber of Commerce)
Why this matters

Members who contact the wrong office or try to access the wrong website will hit dead ends. Before calling or logging in, confirm whether you’re in Canada (valleyfirst.com, 45 branches, 1-888 toll-free) or California (valleyfirstcu.org, Modesto focus, 209 area code).

Search carefully for your country prefix when looking for locations or contact info. A search for “Valley First credit union Penticton” will return Canadian results; searching “Valley First credit union Modesto” returns the US entity. These organizations share only a name.
