The board of directors for Colorado Credit Union and Brighton Federal Credit Union unanimously approved a merger. It went into effect Dec. 1.

    The merger creates a credit union with more than $100 million in assets and three branches serving more than 8,500 members.  Members, assets and employees will be integrated under the Colorado Credit Union name, its state charter status as well as multiple select employee group eligibility and Littleton residents.

    “When evaluating this merger opportunity it quickly became evident how both memberships would benefit from uniting these two strong credit unions.  We look forward to serving the Brighton membership and the Brighton community with expanded services and competitive rates” said Mike Williams, Colorado Credit Union, CEO and president.

    “We are excited about the opportunity to offer expanded products and services to the members and the Brighton Community while maintaining financial stability and excellent member service, commented Roxene Auen, Brighton Federal Credit Union’s former president and new CCU Brighton branch manager.
