America First Credit Union Phone Number

America First Credit Union’s member services phone number is 1-800-999-3961. The Spanish-language line is 1-877-AFCU-HOY (1-877-232-8469). Both lines are staffed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mountain Time and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. MT, excluding holidays. AFCU is closed on Sunday. A 24/7 virtual assistant is available inside online banking and on the AFCU website for after-hours questions.

When to call AFCU member services

The 1-800-999-3961 line connects to AFCU representatives who can help with account questions that cannot be resolved inside online banking or the mobile app. Typical reasons to call include loan applications and pre-qualifications, dispute filings for unauthorized transactions, sign-in trouble that survives a password reset, large wire transfer setup, joint account changes, deceased member account handling, and any request that requires identity verification beyond what the digital channels can do.

For routine tasks — balance inquiries, transfers between AFCU accounts, mobile deposit, payment history, debit card freezes — the mobile app or online banking is faster and available 24 hours a day. Calling for these is generally slower than handling them yourself in the app.

What to have ready before you call

1. Your member numberAFCU identifies accounts by member number, which is different from the account number on a check. It is printed on every statement and visible inside online banking under your profile.
2. A government-issued photo IDFor sensitive requests (loans, large transfers, profile changes), representatives may ask for ID details such as a driver’s license number to verify your identity.
3. The last four digits of your Social Security NumberThis is standard for member verification on the phone. AFCU will never ask for your full SSN over an unsolicited call.
4. Your most recent transactionA common verification step is to confirm the amount or merchant name of a recent transaction. Have your last 5 transactions visible in the app or online banking before calling.
5. A clear note of why you’re callingMember services handles a wide range of inquiries; describing the reason in one sentence at the start of the call helps the representative route you to the right team if needed.

Member services hours in detail

Live phone support follows Mountain Time, the time zone of AFCU’s Riverdale, Utah headquarters. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. MT and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. MT. The credit union is closed Sundays. For members calling from other time zones, this translates to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Central, and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern on weekdays.

AFCU observes most US federal holidays. Holiday closings (Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day) suspend phone support along with branch operations. The holiday hours page on americafirst.com lists the current year’s schedule. After-hours and holiday account access is available through online banking, the mobile app, and ATM networks.

Phone vs. online banking vs. branch — which to use

For most everyday banking, the AFCU mobile app and online banking handle requests faster than a phone call. The app supports mobile check deposit, Zelle transfers, debit card freeze and unfreeze, biometric sign-in, account alerts, and FICO score checks. Members rarely need to call for any of these.

The phone line at 1-800-999-3961 is best for situations that require identity verification beyond a single password — loan applications, disputes, joint account changes, complex transfers — or for members who simply prefer to speak with a person. A branch visit is best for cash handling, notarization, new account documentation, safe deposit box access, and any service that requires a wet signature.

How to avoid phishing calls claiming to be AFCU

Fraud calls that impersonate AFCU follow a predictable pattern: an urgent claim about “suspicious activity,” followed by a request to confirm full Social Security Number, online banking password, or a 6-digit verification code that was just texted to you. Legitimate AFCU representatives will never ask for any of these over an unsolicited inbound call. If you suspect a fraudulent call, hang up and dial 1-800-999-3961 directly to verify whether AFCU contacted you.

Caller ID spoofing makes it possible for fraudsters to display “America First Credit Union” on your phone even when the call originates elsewhere. The safest practice is to end any suspicious call and re-dial the verified number printed on the back of your debit card or on monthly statements. AFCU’s security center page covers current scam patterns in more detail.
