LAS VEGAS, NV — In a major consolidation shift across Southern Nevada’s financial sector, Las Vegas-based Meadows Bank has been officially acquired by Riverdale, Utah-based America First Federal Credit Union.
The combined institution now forms a regional banking network with over $26 billion in assets serving 1.5 million members across six western states.
A Community Staple Expands Its Reach
Founded in Las Vegas in 2008, Meadows Bank built a strong reputation as a full-service community bank, growing to six brick-and-mortar branches across Nevada and Arizona—including locations in Las Vegas, Henderson, Pahrump, Reno, and Phoenix.
Under the finalized transaction, the former bank locations will operate as Meadows Financial, a dedicated division of America First Federal Credit Union.
