WILLIAMSPORT, Penn. — Members 1st Federal Credit Union has reopened a branch here under its own name and brand that it acquired from New Jersey-based First Harvest Credit Union.
As CUToday.info reported earlier, First Harvest and Members 1st reached an agreement on what they called a spin-off transaction in October 2023, which was approved by NCUA on February 12, 2024. The decision to move forward was made official following a member vote on April 8, 2024
‘Meaningful Relationships’
“We are excited to celebrate the opening of this new branch with the Williamsport community. As a high school alum from this region, returning to the area feels like going home, and it fills me with joy to give back to the community that helped shape me,” said Michael Wilson, President & CEO. “We look forward to building meaningful relationships in communities across the region and providing personalized service—from advice and support to a full suite of financial tools designed to help both our consumer and small business members live well financially.”
Celebration Today
The $7-billion Members 1st’s Williamsport branch is hosting a grand opening event today that will feature breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, live music from WILQ and giveaways throughout the day.
