Clearview Federal Credit Union’s Charlotte, North Carolina members vote to join Piedmont Advantage Credit Union
WINSTON-SALEM, NC (December 30, 2013) — Piedmont Advantage Credit Union and Clearview Federal Credit Union jointly announced today that the North Carolina-based Members of the Clearview Federal Credit Union in Charlotte, NC have overwhelmingly voted to approve the spin-off of specific Members to Piedmont Advantage. Clearview Federal and Piedmont Advantage worked closely over the past few months to create a “win-win” situation to provide value for the Members of both Credit Unions. One of the most important aspects of this spin-off was the retention of the Charlotte employees of Clearview Federal to provide consistency and to continue building relationships that have been nurtured over several years. As a result, Piedmont Advantage will acquire Clearview Federal Credit Union’s branch at 2830 Boyer Street early next year. This “spinoff” will benefit Members of both Credit Unions in the Charlotte area, as Piedmont Advantage plans to combine one of its Charlotte Branches, located at 47000 Yorkmont Road, into the Clearview Boyer Street Branch location on February 28, 2014.
“Our staff is excited to welcome the new Members and to gain a better understanding of their unique financial needs, which will ultimately allow us to partner with Members to achieve their goals and dreams. We are eager to show our new Members how we are easy to do business with, and always work to improve the financial well-being of every Member we serve,” said Judy R. Tharp, Piedmont Advantage President and CEO. “Our vision at Piedmont Advantage is to enhance the lives of our Members by providing quality products and caring solutions with a “can-do” attitude.”, Tharp said.
The new Members of Piedmont Advantage will also have access to a complete line of financial service solutions at all the Piedmont Advantage Credit Union branches throughout North Carolina. Members also have access to the CO-OP Shared Branch Service Center Network, Credit Union Service Center locations, and nationwide CO-OP surcharge free ATMs. In addition, the Piedmont Advantage Credit Union Call Center offers expanded hours to existing Clearview Members from 8:00 am – 8:00 pm EST.
