With the recent announcement about our intent to merge with Rogue Credit Union, we wanted to take some time to share more with you about how we selected our new partner. This partnership will allow us to offer more services and benefits to our members, including Rogue’s popular loyalty program, Rogue Rewards, along with an expanded commercial lending department, investment services and more. Together, we’ll have more resources to continue supporting our community while staying true to the loyal service you’ve known us for since 1936.

Our intention to merge with Rogue Credit Union is based on shared values and a shared commitment to our members. Rogue has a long history of community involvement and exceptional member service, and we’re looking forward to becoming even stronger together. To give you a better idea of who our new partner is, we wanted to share a bit about their community involvement efforts in 2024.

Like us, Rogue values community involvement, volunteerism and making a difference in the local communities where we live and work. Rogue is known for their focus on “living, giving and supporting local,” and we’re excited for that to continue here in the North State. Here’s a bit more about Rogue’s commitment to supporting local communities: In 2024, Rogue team members completed over 12,500 hours of volunteer service supporting 40 different nonprofit organizations. They also gave over $900,000 back to their local communities throughout the year, supporting 170 organizations through sponsorships, donations and/or volunteer service. They also awarded $37,500 in scholarships.

As we look to the future, we’re excited about the opportunity to partner with Rogue and expand our community outreach efforts. The strength of our combined credit unions sets the stage for a stronger, more resilient financial institution that is well-positioned to meet the future needs of our members while remaining true to our shared mission, principles and values, and we’re looking forward to sharing more information with you soon.
