Frequently Asked Questions About the Merger

View All Merger FAQs

Why is this merger happening?

Ent and Wings have each grown significantly over the last decade. This strategic and intentional growth has positively impacted the communities we serve in Colorado, Minnesota and beyond.

Both organizations focus on our members, employees and communities. Because of that, our goals, values and cultures are compatible. We are excited to be able to do even more together.

This merger makes both of our organizations stronger, which benefits our employees, our members and the communities we serve. Partnering with another established credit union will provide us with the resources to remain competitive and deliver much more to our members – with the same friendly, outstanding, local service we have always provided. Combined, we’ll be able to do more of what we already do today, providing members with better rates, lower and fewer fees, excellent member service and best-in-class technology. It will result in combined assets of nearly $20 billion, making it one of the top 10 credit unions in the country. The merger will also provide the opportunity to participate in larger philanthropic efforts in the communities where we live, work and serve.

What does this mean for members?

Wings is headquartered in Apple Valley, MN and Ent is headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO. We are excited to offer our nearly one million combined members access to nearly 100 locations in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

  • At this time, the member experience will remain the same. We will work through regulatory and other approvals, as well as an integration, for many months. We will communicate with members throughout the process to ensure a smooth transition. Members can visit Wings.CUtogether.com for timelines and updates.
  • Members will continue to have access to the same locations and friendly teams. You can continue to expect outstanding digital banking, community support, and products and services.
  • Combined, we’ll be an even stronger forward-thinking, competitive credit union.
  • This partnership will allow the credit union to better anticipate and meet the financial needs of members in a competitive financial services industry.
  • As we go through the regulatory process and learn more about timing, we’ll share news on when members will be able to bank at these new locations.
