The $73 million Self Help Federal Credit Union, the California-based credit union that is an affiliate of the $350 million Self Help Credit Union in North Carolina has gotten a bit bigger.

The federally chartered institution has a primary location in Oakland, Calif. but has a mailing address the same as Self-Help in North Carolina for NCUA purposes and longtime CU activist CEO Martin Eakes is CEO of both.

SHFCU announced a merger with the Porterville, Calif. headquartered El Futuro Credit Union on Jan. 5.
