United Resources Federal Credit Union — that is the name selected by the Western Bridge Corporate Charter Committee for the new corporate they hope to create out of the assets of Western Bridge.

“We are seeking to create a new credit union to serve credit unions, just as when corporates got started years ago, and we believe this name captures what we are attempting to do,” said Matt Davidson, chairman of the board of the charter committee and chief financial officer of the $1.3 billion Kern Schools Federal Credit Union in Bakersfield, Calif.

Davidson said the group considered many, many names – “we had suggestions from lots of people” – and decided on this one because “it is the name liked by the most people and it sums up what we want to create.”

Davidson added: “We wanted a name that reflected the unique advantage of the credit union model.”
