Small Ohio credit union to merge into Pathways Financial

“We are proposing this merger as a way to bring significant new benefits to our members,” a guide on the merger said. “Partnering with one of the most successful and fastest-growing credit unions in Ohio will deliver many more products and services to members, expand our geographic presence, open up access to a complete digital member experience and provide additional growth opportunities.”

The $38 million-asset SRFCU’s member vote will be held on Aug. 5. Combining with the $417 million-asset Pathways Financial CU will expand SRFCU’s branch network from one to 13.

SRFCU lost roughly $26,000 in the first quarter, compared with a loss of almost $20,000 for the same period a year earlier, according to call report data from the National Credit Union Administration.
