UCU has carefully evaluated the opportunity to form a larger institution that will benefit our members, and members joining from Changing Seasons, with the expansion of products and services to meet evolving needs and align with our purpose-driven mission. UCU is a strong and sound financial institution, and continued growth with this merger provides UCU the ability to best support and provide greater economies of scale for members.

After much thought and careful deliberation, the Changing Seasons Board of Directors approached UCU as a voluntary merger partner. We are confident that the proposed merger with Changing Seasons supports our purpose of people helping people, our members, and communities by promoting financial well-being through attainable financial products and services.

There are two specific approval processes for this merger, regulatory approval, and membership approval. Both credit unions are awaiting preliminary approval by our regulators, followed by a membership vote and special meeting. Once the special meeting date is confirmed, that will be communicated and will be added here. Upon both regulatory and membership approval the merger will be finalized on an effective date soon thereafter, and the system integration will take place later this year.

As a UCU member, you will see no change, as our credit union and its operations will remain the same, providing the high level of member service you are accustomed to. Changing Seasons will be merging into UCU, and we look forward to warmly welcoming our new members to the credit union, meeting their needs and supporting them in their financial journeys.

Changing Seasons will be merging into UCU effective later this year, and once the systems for both credit unions are fully integrated, UCU will operate as the resulting credit union for members.

We are excited to have the Changing Seasons staff stay on and transition to join the UCU team. With the expanding team, you’ll have more UCU employees here to assist you with all of your needs.
