There are a ton of new things going on around the Credit Union these days. We are merging, we have a new branch being built, and we are pre-paring by hiring more staff. If you have been in the branch lately you’ve probably seen some new faces. If you haven’t, stop in and say hi some time so we can make sure we are all on a first name basis!

Community Financial Credit Union has merged with Boulder Municipal Employees Federal Credit Union and we are preparing our new location in the heart of Boulder. The address is 2800 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, CO 80303 which is on the SE corner of Arapahoe and 28th. Pretty convenient, huh?

Community Financial and Boulder Municipal Employees Federal Credit Union share a similar history; have similar cultures; and each organization has individual strengths which comple-ment the other. Furthermore, the Board of Directors believes this merger results in a strong and viable continuing organization. The goal is to offer a convenience-packed experience to the members of the continuing Credit Union. Moving forward, members will enjoy improved access through a dedicated “on-site”call center and enhanced hours, including Saturday hours, and drive-up facilities at the Broomfield location. And the new branch in Boulder offers a convenient location and a pretty neat setup.

Community Financial offers full service in Boulder!
