BATTLE CREEK,, MI (September 10, 2024) |
Ignite Credit Union is thrilled to announce our plans to add Latvian Heritage Federal Credit Union (Latvian Heritage FCU) to our Ignite family, pending a membership vote. If approved, we will add 390 new members and $3.1 million in assets.
Latvian Heritage FCU is a full-service financial institution working to meet the needs of the Latvian Heritage community. There are currently two branches located in Detroit, Michigan, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. To become a member of the Latvian Heritage Federal Credit Union, you must be a person of Latvian descent who is a member of an acknowledged Latvian religious organization or a member of a Latvian social organization.
“We are very excited about the possibilities that partnering with Latvian Heritage Federal Credit Union will bring,” said Kristopher Lewis, CEO of Ignite Credit Union. “We are both dedicated to supporting the financial well-being of our members and communities. By joining forces, we can create greater value and opportunities for those we serve.”
“We believe that this partnership will strengthen our mutual commitment to serving our communities and fostering a sense of financial empowerment among our members,” added John Rikans, President and CEO of Latvian Heritage Federal Credit Union. “We are truly excited about the benefits that expanding our resources will bring to our members and communities.”
Representing over $381 million in assets, Ignite Credit Union is a state-chartered, federally insured Credit Union with 3 credit union brands - Allegan Credit Union, Rivertown Credit Union, and BlueOx Credit Union. We believe people deserve a friendly local credit union backed by powerful resources and financial knowledge. This is why we help Michigan credit unions expand access while keeping their local community atmosphere to help shape the future of the industry for good.
