Sb1 Federal Credit Union to rebrand as Ardent Credit Union
40-year-old greater Philadelphia federal credit union to officially make the change on June 14, 2016
PHILADELPHIA, PA (May 17, 2016) — Sb1 Federal Credit Union, an established credit union with a rich 40-year history of serving the Greater Philadelphia region, will open their doors as Ardent Credit Union on June 14, 2016. Since the launch of the company in 1977, Sb1 Federal Credit Union has been committed to exceeding members’ expectations and maintaining financial strength through the delivery of high quality banking products, information, and service. Subsequent to their rebranding, Ardent Credit Union will continue to uphold those same standards with a refreshed mission, name, and look.
“Ardent is a name that’s about passion”, says Rob Werner, President/CEO of Sb1 Federal Credit Union. “It reflects our spirit and drive to serve our members and connects us to our proud Philadelphia roots. The name Ardent stands for everything banking should be—passionate, caring, and intensely devoted to the people we serve.”
Sb1 Federal Credit Union works hard to solve problems for each of their member’s unique needs and is always looking for ways to say yes. Their new name will also reflect their entire field of membership and their distinction as a financial institution, as they expand to serve those who live, work, volunteer, or go to school in the five counties in the Philadelphia region.
Recent approval by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) now makes Sb1 Federal Credit Union, soon to be Ardent Credit Union, a true community-chartered credit union doing business in Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks and Chester counties.
Customers will soon see exciting new changes in each of these locations, online, and in their wallets. The new tagline, “Grit makes great,” truly encompasses all that this rebrand is looking to convey to current and perspective customers.
