Limestone FCU Members Approve Charter Conversion and Statewide Expansion

Entering 2025 as Limestone Financial Credit Union

Limestone Federal Credit Union (Limestone FCU) is proud to announce that its members have approved the decision to convert from a federally chartered credit union to a state-chartered institution. This pivotal move reflects the credit union’s commitment to adapting and growing alongside its members, ensuring it continues to meet their evolving financial needs.

As part of the charter conversion, Limestone FCU is expanding its field of membership to serve individuals and businesses across the entire state of Michigan. This expansion demonstrates the credit union’s dedication to providing personalized, community-focused financial services to a broader membership. Limestone FCU will also adopt a new name, Limestone Financial Credit Union—symbolizing an exciting new chapter of growth and opportunity.

Our members have spoken, and we are thrilled about the opportunities this charter conversion brings. This decision represents a significant step in our broader strategy to foster long-term financial sustainability and independence while providing a clear path for growth and development. By expanding our reach, we can better serve our members and strengthen our commitment to Michigan communities.

– Jennifer C. Watson, CEO

The vote highlights the unique value of credit unions as member-owned financial cooperatives. Every member has a voice in shaping the organization’s future, and their support was instrumental in making this transition possible.

The shift to a state charter opens exciting opportunities for innovation and long-term success. It enables Limestone FCU to deliver enhanced services, tailor solutions to diverse member needs, and ensure sustainable prosperity for years to come.

With the strong support of our members, we are pleased to move forward in our efforts to improve member services and to provide those services to a broader community.

We have a phenomenal history of excellence and innovation in our industry. The Board of Directors has the highest level of confidence in our credit union’s future success and the positive influence on the financial future of our members.

–James Blanchard, Board Chairman
