ALEXANDRIA, Va. (May 15, 2009) – The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) was appointed liquidating agent of Rouge Employees Credit Union in Dearborn by the Michigan Office of Financial & Insurance Regulation on May 15, 2009. Effective May 18, 2009, Rouge Employees Credit Union members will be served by Chief Financial Federal Credit Union (formerly Chief Pontiac Federal Credit Union) of Pontiac, Michigan.
Chief Financial Federal Credit Union purchased and assumed Rouge Employees Credit Union’s assets, loans and shares, enabling Rouge’s members to continue to receive uninterrupted credit union service. Rouge’s declining financial condition led to the closure and subsequent purchase and assumption by Chief Financial Federal Credit Union. Rouge Employees Credit Union had $23 million in assets and served 6,200 members.
Chief Financial Federal Credit Union is a full service credit union and it new members will have access to a broad array of financial services offered throughout a wide service area. With assets of $82.9 million, Chief Financial FCU serves approximately 13,480 members from employee and associational groups, along with an underserved area encompassing portions of Dearborn Heights, Inkster, Romulus, Taylor, Wayne, or Westland, Michigan.
