Merger

We understand there are many questions about how your account will be affected if the Merger is approved. Your current account will not change upon the merger vote. We will inform you of any and all changes for the transition. It will take awhile to fully merge our accounts with Arrowhead Credit Union (ACU). If the merger is approved, ACU has created an information site that will constantly be updated. We will continue to mail and to email as we get updates. Click here for merger related information

We value your membership and look forward to continue serving you as ACU. 

First Mortgage Loans- No longer Offered

Given the pending merger with Arrowhead Credit Union, and in the best interests of our membership, the Credit Union will no longer accept new First Mortgage or Home Equity Lines of Credit loan applications. The time to process, underwrite, and fund these loans make this necessary. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please call Tiffany Hoang at 1-888-456-3503 ext 2501
