Frequently Asked Questions

Why the merger?

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. Together, our organizations will 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.

Shirley Cate, President and CEO of PFCU, will be retiring upon completion of the merger and Larry Ellifritz, the current President and CEO of CCCU, will become the President and CEO of the combined organization.

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.

What stage of the merger process are CCCU & PFCU in?

Currently, we are in the initial stages of the merger. We have applied for the merger with the NCUA and are waiting for regulatory approval. We expect to have approval by early October 2024. The entire merger timeline, including system conversions, should take about a year to complete.

How will this merger affect me?

Your checks, ATM and debit cards will continue to work as normal and we do not anticipate any interruption of service.

How does the merger impact current CCCU employees?

All CCCU employees will be retained. We are excited to collaborate with PFCU employees and to serve their members, as well.

What if I have an account at both credit unions?

If you have an account open at each location, your PFCU account will move over to CCCU under your CCCU membership at the time of conversion, which is anticipated to be in June.

Will we be able to use PFCU branches?

Yes! Once the merger is complete, CCCU members will have access to the PFCU location in Beaverton and an Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) in the Portland Medical Center (NE Glisan & 47th Ave).

Can I give input or ask questions about the process?

Yes, we want to hear from our members and if you have questions, comments or concerns, please let us know—we want your feedback. Both credit unions will be hosting a special membership meeting to answer any questions our members might have regarding the merger.

What does this mean for digital banking services (Online Banking, Mobile Banking, Apps)?

We do not anticipate that members will experience any changes or interruptions to their digital banking experiences. Combining the two organizations will only allow us to provide additional technology, products and services to support your financial needs better. We’ll be sure to keep you informed of any improvements being made.

What if I have an account open with CCCU & PFCU?

If you have an account open at each credit union, your PFCU account will move over to CCCU resulting in two separate accounts, which is anticipated to be in June 2025.
