EUGENE, Ore. – SELCO CU, the fifth largest credit union in the state, was approved on Jan. 1 by the state regulator to become a community credit union. SELCO currently has 67,000 members and serves Lane and Deschutes counties. As a result of its new community charter, the credit union will also include in its field-of-membership Linn, Benton, Polk and Marion counties. The credit union's headquarters will remain in Eugene. SELCO President/CEO Ava Milosevich said the credit union plans to open new offices and expand its ATM network over the next five years.
