Credit Union acquisitions of Banks is going to become more common as we enter a phase of consolidation. It might be worth your or someone else's time to discuss the ease of a CU acquisition of a Bank as compared to the difficulty of a Mutual SB acquisition of a credit union. I would welcome more consolidation between mutual savings banks and CUs (Mutuals acquired by credit unions and credit unions acquired by mutual savings banks) as both of more similar to each other in mission and service to members (customers) and community than large stock held banks. Consolidation and scale are essential for both Credit Unions and Mutual SBs to survive and thrive into the future.
