Michigan's United Bay Community Credit Union, primed to formally complete a merger next Tuesday of a Kalamazoo-area peer, is setting its sights on becoming a major industry player in the state in two years perhaps reaching $500 million.
That was the word Friday from the $170 million Bay City credit union as it finalizes its takeover of the $28 million Access First Federal Credit Union of Mattawan. The consolidation would enable United Community, located on Saginaw Bay on the Michigan "thumb", to grow a statewide operation, said a spokeswoman.
The merger has been in the works for more than a year and will result in a credit union with 27,000 members in six counties. Access First FCU members had approved the merger last August.
