This is a very unique and exciting opportunity to partner with a like-sized and like-minded Vermont credit union. This partnership will have many benefits for members, including lower fees, improved rates, added products and services, and the ability to keep up with the electronic and digital services for members.
This will also help ensure the long-term viability of both credit unions. As two small Vermont credit unions, we have been strategically focused on joining forces through a merger of equals that would benefit all members. A partnership between the two of us makes us both stronger and will provide us with more resources to better serve our membership.

By combining credit unions, we will have a larger capacity to lend to our members, and we will be adding more loan products. For example, student loans and fixed rate home equity loans will become available immediately.
