ROCHESTER, Minn. — By a margin of only 2%, the members of the $1.2 billion Think Federal Credit Union have voted to stop being owners and members of a credit union and instead become depositors in a mutual bank.

The vote was 51% to 49% in favor of converting.

The culmination of the balloting process came at a special meeting on March 14 where about 200 members gathered to ask the last questions and cast the final ballots.
