Intermountain said its board approached America First about a possible merger after troubles arose in Intermountain's construction-loan portfolio. Intermountain CU was chartered in 1954 as Associated CU.

America First, with $4.5 billion in assets, reported net income of $33.2 million for the first nine months of the year.
