As we head towards the end of the month we wanted to recognize our January employee anniversaries! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to our members!

Great Lakes Credit Union (GLCU) and encurage financial network credit union (encurage) are excited to announce their plans to merge pending regulatory approval and an encurage membership vote. If approved, the combined organization will operate under the unified brand name, Great Lakes Credit Union. The credit unions are targeting a close later this year as a legal effective date for the merger. Both boards have voted in favor of the combined merger. In today's highly competitive and rapidly changing financial marketplace, it is becoming increasingly challenging to offer the wide range of products and services that members want. Attracting new members and new employees in this competitive market is also becoming increasingly difficult. By merging with Great Lakes Credit Union, encurage will be able to leverage even more resources and benefits in the form of additional products and services, new and robust technologies, an increased branch network, financial education/counseling services, and position its credit unions for continued growth. Both credit unions wanted to find a partner that matched their own passions, shared similar bonds, policy guidelines, and an overall philosophy that aligned closely with their own missions, as well as a shared dedication and loyalty to their teams, members, and communities. As member-owned cooperatives, and under the guidelines of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), full merger approval is contingent upon membership approval, along with regulatory approvals from the NCUA and Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation. As the merger process moves forward, both credit unions will provide information to their respective memberships via their websites (www.glcu.org and www.firstfcu.org/encurage) and through other applicable communication channels. Upon completion of the merger, encurage financial network will bring over more than 14,000 members, mostly in the greater Chicagoland area, and over $200 million in assets to the new organization to combine with GLCU's 80,000 members and $1.3 billion in assets. The combined entity will serve 94,000 members and hold approximately $1.5 billion in assets. To read the full press release please visit https://bit.ly/47RVNo8
