Merger Approved!

With this stamp of approval from our membership and board of directors, we are excited to start the next phase of this transition: combining resources and talent to enhance systems and products for all members.

To help prepare for a smooth conversion, please keep your contact information up-to-date to ensure you never miss an important communication regarding the merger and your accounts. Communications will be sent via letter and/or by email. We will also continue to post updates here throughout this transition, so be sure to check in often.
The Board of Directors and leadership team of KaiPerm NW Federal Credit Union (KaiPerm) are excited to announce a pending merger with Consolidated Community Credit Union (CCCU). KaiPerm and CCCU both are looking forward to serving you and future generations by combining our strengths and resources. Unlike a bank buyout, a credit union merger is a collaboration between two credit unions seeking to combine financial resources and expertise for the sole purpose of providing members with expanded services.
Both KaiPerm and CCCU are financially sound and have a powerful commitment to their members and employees. All KaiPerm employees and management will be retained by CCCU. Additionally, two current KaiPerm board members will have voting representation on the CCCU Board of Directors.
We are excited about the new products and services our combined organization will bring to our members and look forward to growing healthier together.
Exciting changes starting August 3, 2026.

Due to the ever-changing landscape of the financial services market, the Board of Directors and management of both credit unions thought this was the best path to continue meeting the financial needs of our members. CCCU can support our organization as we continue to grow and evolve, helping us market to our community, implement new technologies and provide operational and administrative guidance. This support will ultimately translate into a deeper product and service mix for our membership.
This is a very positive event for both our credit unions, and our Board and management teams are excited to watch the evolution of the new combined organization.
