Regelmäßig wird der US-Bundesstaat Utah vom Forbes-Magazin zum “Best Place for Business” gewählt. Mit verantwortlich für das gute Abschneiden ist nach Ansicht der Juroren und Kommentatoren die dynamische Bankenszene in Salt Lake City, der Hauptstadt von Utah (Vgl. dazu: A City We Can Bank On).
Downtown Salt Lake is proud to be home to many banks and financial institutions who provide commercial and retail banking and lending services to the community. Goldman Sachs, America First Credit Union, Wells Fargo, Zions Bank and other organizations have their names on buildings or are anchor tenants in one.
Im Jahr 2016 eröffnete America First Credit Union im Zentrum der Stadt ein Innovation Center.:
Designed to be part branch, part learning workshop and part tech playground, it’s a space where America First members, along with the rest of the community, can get hands-on access to state-of-the-art technology and financial systems, learn about new tools and opportunities within the credit union and give real-time feedback about what kind of experience they want to have with the credit union in the future.
