Secure Messaging and Email

For documented inquiries and non-urgent questions, the secure messaging center within online banking provides the most direct path to a response with a full message history.

Log into online banking or the mobile app and navigate to Messages to send a secure inquiry. Messages submitted before 3:00 PM PT on business days receive a response within four hours. The messaging center retains your full correspondence history, so you can reference previous conversations with support staff without digging through email threads. Attachments — screenshots of error messages, PDF statements, check images — can be included with your message.

For general questions that do not involve account details, you can also reach Valley First through the contact form on this website. Do not include sensitive information such as full Social Security numbers, account passwords, or PINs in unsecured communications. Use secure messaging for any inquiry involving account specifics.

Quick Overview

In-Branch Services

All Valley First branches provide teller transactions, new account opening, loan applications, notary services (free for members), medallion signature guarantees, safe deposit box access, coin counting, and foreign currency exchange with advance notice. Walk-ins are welcome for most services. Appointments are recommended for mortgage consultations, SBA loan discussions, wire transfers exceeding $10,000, and medallion signature guarantees — call (559) 555-0142 to schedule.

Access for Members With Disabilities

All Valley First branch locations meet ADA accessibility standards, including wheelchair-accessible entrances, lowered service counters, and accessible ATMs with audio guidance. Relay services for TTY users are available by dialing 711. Large-print statements and braille account documents can be arranged by request through member services. Valley First's online banking platform is compatible with screen readers including JAWS and NVDA, and has been tested against WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

I work twelve-hour shifts and can never make it to the branch during regular hours, so the Saturday morning hours are a lifesaver. The tellers at the Visalia branch know me by name and have my deposit slip ready before I reach the counter. That kind of service matters when you barely have time to breathe between shifts.
