The proposed merger will enable the nonprofit upstate New York credit unions to expand access to services, expertise, and branch locations for members and businesses across the Northern and Central New York regions, per AmeriCU’s announcement.
AmeriCU says it has been serving members who live or work in Clinton and Essex counties for a number of years. The expanded AmeriCU credit union will serve more than 180,000 members across 24 counties, with 25 locations and have combined assets of $2.8 billion.
The merger was initiated by Mountain Valley and unanimously approved by its board of directors earlier this year, citing the many similarities in the credit unions’ origins, foundational values, commitment to member satisfaction, and community involvement, AmeriCU said.
