From Numerica Credit Union Merges with SELCO Community Credit Union

How could the merger of Numerica and SELCO Credit Unions affect Oregon?

Likely What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Combined credit union operating under Oregon charter will reach nearly $8 billion in assets. The merger of SELCO Community Credit Union and Numerica Credit Union creates a combined organization with nearly $8 billion in assets and over 325,000 members. Crucially, the combined entity will operate under SELCO’s Oregon charter and will maintain its headquarters in Springfield, Oregon. This means the state of Oregon's regulatory framework will govern a significantly larger, unified financial institution, which is expected to complete its legal integration by early 2028.

Why it matters

The merger creates a substantial financial entity, making it the second-largest credit union by asset size in Oregon. This scale, combined with the $8 billion in assets and 325,000 members, means the combined organization will have a significant operational and financial presence within the state.

As the combined entity operates under the Oregon charter, the state's regulatory bodies will be responsible for overseeing the integration and ongoing operations of this large, unified financial institution. This oversight is critical given the combined organization's commitment to expanding resources for community giving and financial education initiatives.
