Valley First

Valley First, a division of First West Credit Union, is based in British Columbia, Canada.

Valley First continued its growth into the Kelowna market throughout the 1990s, before amalgamating with the Armstrong Spallumcheen Savings and Credit Union and buying the KCP Credit Union in Kamloops in 2001.

[2] Its divisions—Envision Financial, Valley First, Island Savings and Enderby & District Financial—operate under their existing brand names in their respective markets.

[3] With the ultimate goal of eliminating hunger in the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys, Feed the Valley has collected more than 96,000 pounds of food and raised the equivalent of 7,146,000 meals and more than $2,380,000, all supporting local food banks.

In 2008, Valley First entered into discussions with Langley-based Envision Credit Union to merge with one another and develop a new financial services organization for Western Canada.
