As part of the merger, we initiated a process to explore a name for the new credit union. This process enabled members, staff and community groups from both credit unions to provide input. Once the feedback was collected and analyzed, a recommendation was put forward to choose the name Atlantic Edge Credit Union.
One of the most important pillars of our brand is our direct connection to the communities where we live and work. All 11 branches will continue to honor the legacy of their communities, with the preservation of their branch names.
We are excited to launch Atlantic Edge Credit Union – one that builds on the success of Leading Edge and Eagle River, remains rooted in our local focus and ready to serve our members and community.
