Growth Strategies

Thrive CU adds two neighboring counties to its field of membership.

SEFCU becomes the state's fourth largest financial cooperative with $8.3 billion in assets and more than a half-million members.

Wanigas CU will merge with Financial Plus CU to serve roughly 80,000 members.

The Anchorage-based credit union will operate more branches in Washington than in its home state.

If approved, the consolidation would create a five-state league representing up to 718 credit unions and 14 million members.

Purchase increases the credit union's footprint to 22 branches across the Metro East and St. Louis markets.
