Saguache County Credit Union Liquidated

The Colorado Division of Financial Services appointed the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) as liquidating agent of Saguache County Credit Union of Moffat, Colorado. Immediately following appointment as liquidating agent of Saguache County Credit Union, NCUA entered into an agreement with Aventa Credit Union of Colorado Springs, Colo., to purchase and assume membership shares and certain assets of Saguache County Credit Union.
