Two credit unions enter merger talks, eyeing province-wide growth

If approved, Kawartha Credit Union and Libro Credit Union will have a combined $11 billion in assets.

Kawartha Credit Union and Libro Credit Union have entered formal merger discussions aimed at forming a larger, community-based financial institution in Ontario.

The two credit unions intend to submit a formal application to Ontario’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority in August. 

For now it's business as usual, but there could be some changes on the horizon.

President and CEO of K-C-U, Norah McCarthy, says this move would set-up both sides for the future and be positive for members.
