A credit union in western North Carolina announced Monday it will open its first offices in nearby Henderson County over the next two years, following its members as they spread further from the center of the Asheville metro area.
Champion Credit Union ($269.8 million in assets, 25,194 members) was founded in Canton in 1932 for employees of a paper mill in the Haywood County village. In 2000, its charter made it a community credit union, and it now serves nine counties in the state's southwest corner.
Since Jake Robinson became president/CEO in 2015, the credit union has added more than 1,000 members and $56.1 million in assets.
