Self-Help Mergers

More than 25 mission-focused financial institutions have joined the Self-Help family through mergers and acquisitions. These valued partnerships have helped us grow to serve 173,000 individuals, organizations and businesses through our 76 branches in eight states: California, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. Scroll down to see a list of the financial institutions (credit unions and two banks) that have joined us over our 40+ year history. 

If you want to dig deeper, there's much more. You can view our growing collection of documentary videos that capture the remarkable histories of many of the institutions you see below. Also, for a broader look at Self-Help's history, check out the historical timeline of key milestones in our evolution.
