Two credit unions, the $8.1 Canton Police and Firemen's Credit Union in Canton, Ohio and the $132,625 Arlington Hotel Credit Union in Hot Springs Ark., received approval to merge because of their poor financial condition, according to the NCUA's Insurance Report of Activity for April.

Canton Police & Firemen's CU was consolidated into the $75.5 million Community One Credit Union in North Canton, Ohio, and Arlington Hotel CU was merged into the $70.7 million Diamond Lakes Credit Union in Malvern, Ark.

Among the nine credit unions that got the OK to merge because of expanded services, the largest consolidation by assets was the $118 million Northwell Health Federal Credit Union in Jericho, N.Y.
