James A. Higgins, President and CEO of Skyline Financial Federal Credit Union, expressed enthusiasm for the merger: “The merger between our two organizations comes with extreme excitement! Curtis FCU is an extremely well-managed credit union under the leadership of the retiring manager, Pam Michel. We’re honored to continue that tradition of service and welcome Curtis members into Skyline Financial Federal Credit Union.”
As part of the merger, Curtis FCU members will now benefit from a broader range of products and services, including mobile and online banking, mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, peer-to-peer (P2P) payments, and more.
