SCCU President/CEO Gary Elliott said the acquisition will expand the credit union's market throughout northwest Wisconsin.

DSB's 27 full-time employees are expected remain working at their locations in Bruce, Exeland, Sheldon, Gilman, Holcombe, and Hayward, which will be rebranded with the SCCU logo.
Serving more than 27,000 members, SCCU employs 95 full-time staffers and 14 part-time staffers. The credit union operates five branches in Wisconsin and one branch in Minnesota.
This credit union bank acquisition is the second publicly announced deal this year.
