More about the Sunnyside Branch of American United and its history with Emery and Carbon counties:
In September of 1948, U.M.W.A. Local 8020 Credit Union was organized by a man named Conrad Staley, who opened the doors to a new community credit union in the basement of his home, under a state charter. It started out as a wholesale outlet; various items were purchased and offered to the membership at wholesale prices. The credit union then moved from Mr. Staley’s basement into a small office located in the town Bowling Alley. During that time, the credit union gained a sponsor and changed its name to Kaiser Steel Credit Union. Field of membership included all employees of Kaiser Steel Corporation, Dragerton Cleaning Company, Miners Trading Post, Carbon Medical and all immediate family members of the above-mentioned groups.
In 2016, Sunnyside Credit Union began looking for merger partners and in 2019, they merged with American United Federal Credit Union.
