Dear Mountain Valley Members:
We are pleased to inform you that the members of Mountain Valley Federal Credit Union have overwhelmingly approved our merger with AmeriCU Credit Union via ballots received before and at our special membership meeting on Thursday, September 18, 2025. Pending one final approval from New York State, our credit union, employees and locations will become part of the AmeriCU family by early next year.
This merger was proposed by Mountain Valley’s Board of Directors and management because we believe wholeheartedly that it’s in the best interest of our members, our staff and our communities – and we are so pleased to see that our members agree.
Joining with AmeriCU will provide you with access to many more financial services than a credit union Mountain Valley’s size can provide. These include a greater variety of mortgages and other loans; an extensive array of small business services; more checking and savings options; investment and insurance teams to help you grow and protect your assets; a member rewards program; and more. All four branches will remain open, and you will continue to be served by the same friendly staff. Following the merger, you will also have access to AmeriCU’s 21 financial centers, a Virtual Financial Center, Interactive ATMs, online and mobile banking services and added cybersecurity for even greater convenience and peace of mind.
Please know that Mountain Valley and AmeriCU are committed to making this transition go as smoothly as possible for you. Nothing is required of you at this time. When the time comes to transition your accounts to AmeriCU, we will keep you fully informed and be available for personal assistance to ensure a seamless transition. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or stop by your nearest branch.
For more than 60 years, Mountain Valley Federal Credit Union has served our members in Clinton and Essex counties with hometown pride and a commitment to helping you achieve your financial and life goals. AmeriCU looks forward to continuing — and enhancing – this proud tradition of People Helping People for generations to come.
Sincerely,
Maggie F. Pope, CEO
Kathleen E. Roach, President – Board of Directors
