Utah First Wins 12th Crystal Performance Award

Utah First Credit Union is proud to announce that we’ve received the Crystal Performance Award for the 12th consecutive year. Presented by Raddon, this award recognizes only the top 2–3% of credit unions nationwide. These are institutions that demonstrate consistent excellence in growth, income, efficiency, sales, and member relationships.

Twelve years in a row. It’s not something we take for granted.

“It’s humbling that we’ve stayed at the top this long without chasing numbers for their own sake or losing the personal touch that got us here,” said CEO Darin B. Moody. “[It] is proof that you can grow and excel while staying true to your purpose.”

What Makes This Award Significant

The Crystal Performance Award is one of the most respected benchmarks in the credit union industry. Out of more than 500 institutions evaluated annually, only a select few earn the recognition. Twelve consecutive wins places Utah First in rare company and reflects our ongoing commitment to:

  • Putting people at the center of every decision
  • Measuring success in lives impacted, not just metrics
  • Showing up every day determined to live the mission

A Shared Success

This award belongs to our members and our team. It’s the result of thousands of everyday interactions. A loan that came through when it mattered, a question answered with patience, a financial goal reached together. That’s what this recognition really reflects.

We’re grateful, we’re energized, and we’re just getting started. That’s what it means to Stay Orange.
