Hosted by Alyn Edwards.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Merger</strong></p><p>After years of collaborating, working together, and building a trusted relationship, G&amp;F Financial Group and Aldergrove Credit Union are working towards merging our two credit unions. Working together and collaborating for many years, it is a natural fit and evolution in our partnership.</p><p><br></p><p>With a similar alignment on community, employee engagement and development, and providing continued value to members built on trust and relationships, the merger of our two credit unions will enable a greater focus in all these areas, through scale and combined resources. By leveraging our collective strengths, our credit unions look forward to providing greater opportunities for employees,&nbsp;members, and our communities.</p><p><br></p><p>The combined credit union has over 145 years of experience serving the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Collectively, we would provide a network of 24 branch locations and four insurance locations, to a combined 52,000+ members, spanning across communities from Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, Surrey, Langley, Aldergrove, Abbotsford, and Mission. Combined total assets under administration would be just under $4 billion.</p><p><br></p><p>For more information on the merger, please see <a href=\"https://www.togetherwearebetter.ca/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">togetherwearebetter.ca</a></p>","author_name":"G&F Financial Group"}
