Are you exploring all your options for growth? When you think about a growing your credit union or CUSO through a “merger” strategy, you may be tempted to focus on consolidation alone. While combining two credit unions can be a pathway to growth, it is important to recognize it is just one of a number of options available to you. Consolidation may not be the best solution for your organization and may not help you add the value you had hope for.
In a CU Insight article, Kirk Drake, CEO of Ongoing Operations, a credit union service organization, and John Dearing, Managing Director of Capstone, discuss the growth options available to credit unions and CUSOs and how to use strategic mergers and acquisitions to maximize your growth potential.
