History
[edit]Lake Michigan Credit Union was founded in 1933 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by Lloyd F. Hutt as Grand Rapids Teachers Credit Union.[6] On March 1, 2002, the institution changed its name to Lake Michigan Credit Union.[7]
In mid-May 2010, the Kalamazoo-based Citizens Credit Union announced that it planned to merge with Lake Michigan Credit Union.[1][8] This merger took place in June 2010 and resulted in the addition of Citizen Credit Union's 9,000 members and $60 million assets to Lake Michigan Credit Union's estimated 168,000 members and $1.87 billion assets.[9][10]
In October 2015, Lake Michigan Credit Union and United Federal Credit Union announced their intent to merge.[11] However in January 2016, the two institutions canceled the plan stating they could best serve their members independently.[12]
