Hurricane Irma reportedly impacted more than 100,000 credit union members in the region.

The next step: Making sure employees know what’s on tap and are taking advantage of it.

The move has been called a major advocacy victory for credit unions.

The credit union will now be able to implement picture pay, enhanced mobile banking and other features.

Approximately two-thirds of the state's 136 credit unions suffered damage from high winds and flood waters, but CUs are reopening their doors to members and staff — though some are still without power and internet access.

Shane Silvernale and Tessa Bonfante will succeed Carla Hedrick, who retired in March after 37 years at the credit union.

A vote from Eastern Maine Medical Center FCU members will take place later this month and, if approved, the transaction is expected to close by November.

CU exec tapped to serve on performing arts board, plus new hires, promotions, appointments and more.

Along with activating CUAid for Irma, an online community for credit union disaster-response efforts has also been launched.

Credit unions across the state are closed today, but the storm also brought out some of the best the industry has to offer.
