Advantage Plus

Advantage Plus Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial cooperative chartered to serve residents and businesses in Southeast Idaho and Southwest Wyoming communities. As a federal credit union, it is NCUA-insured and operates under credit union principles of member benefit rather than shareholder profit. The organization has maintained continuous service to its region for more than seven decades, establishing itself as a community-focused financial institution. Advantage Plus offers a comprehensive suite of consumer and business financial products designed to meet the needs of local members. On the deposit side, they provide multiple checking accounts including Free Kasasa Cash® Checking and Free Kasasa Cash Back® Checking with reward features, plus various savings products including youth savings, Christmas Club, and premium savings options. Their lending portfolio includes mortgage loans (conventional, construction, FHA), home equity lines of credit, personal loans, auto loans, RV loans, signature loans, and lines of credit. The credit union also offers a Mastercard credit card, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), and Idaho Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs). What distinguishes Advantage Plus is their emphasis on member rewards through Kasasa products, which offer dividends and cash-back rewards on everyday banking activities rather than traditional interest-based returns. They employ dedicated mortgage loan officers by name, provide financial planning and investment advisory services through Advantage Plus Service Group Insurance, offer tax and accounting services, and maintain loan protection insurance options. Their digital banking platform emphasizes accessibility and anywhere access to member accounts. Advantage Plus represents a traditional credit union model focused on community service and member value. The organization provides solid mainstream financial products with competitive features like rewards checking and multiple loan options. However, as a regional credit union limited to specific geographic service areas, membership is restricted to those in Southeast Idaho and Southwest Wyoming, and their product offerings, while comprehensive, may be less innovative than larger national credit unions or digital-first competitors.
