Copper State Credit Union
Goodyear
Rooted in Legacy, Designed for the Future

Born from a legacy of service and community, Copper State Credit Union was established in 2020 through the merger of two long-standing Arizona institutions—Canyon State Credit Union and Deer Valley Credit Union.
With roots tracing back to 1951, their foundation was built by Safeway employees, state workers, and Honeywell’s tech pioneers who were all united by a commitment to financial well-being.
Today, that same commitment drives Copper State forward. Embracing their identity as a true “Copper State” institution, they view copper not just as a nod to Arizona’s heritage, but as a symbol of strength, unity, and member connection. This is the same spirit that fuels their continued transformation of the branch experience.
Bold Vision for the Goodyear Branch
At Copper State Credit Union’s Goodyear Branch, transformation wasn’t just the goal—it was the strategy. With a clear mission to redefine what banking feels like, the team set out to convert a traditional 5,904-square-foot space into a high-performing, modern retail environment that engages members, streamlines operations, and serves as a scalable model for future growth.
This wasn’t simply a renovation. It was a reinvention of the entire member experience.

The redesigned branch features a striking teller tower with four stations, three private offices for personalized consultations, and a 24/7 ATM vestibule that enhances self-service access. Thoughtfully integrated digital signage ensures communication stays timely and on-brand, while reinforcing Copper State’s identity throughout the space.
