COLUMBUS, Ohio–Two Buckeye State credit unions have announced they have merged.
The $952-million Telhio Credit Union said it is absorbing via merger the $259-million Columbus Metro Credit Union.
The combined CU will have more than 75,000 members.
“Telhio and Columbus Metro have similar values - particularly our dedication to serving our members and a shared commitment to our local community,” said Leslie Bumgarner, president and CEO of Telhio. “It was a natural fit to merge with such a well-regarded credit union that has served central Ohio for so many years.”
The credit union said Columbus Metro members will notice a gradual transition to Telhio’s banking system over the next year.
