Q: Will any branches, ATMs, and service hours be impacted?
A: No branches will be closed as a result of the partnership. In fact, once the credit unions are combined, Centra Credit Union will work to reopen the two branches owned by NorthPark in Zionsville and Lebanon, IN in mid-year 2024.
Once the partnership is approved and the integration of the two credit unions is complete, you will also have access to all Centra’s existing 25 branches, ATMs, and ITMs. Centra is also part of the CO-OP ATM Network and Shared Branch Network, giving Members access to more than 30,000 free ATMS and more than 5,000 free branch locations across the country.
Branch hours are generally 8:30 am – 5 pm Monday – Thursday, 8:30 am – 6 pm on Friday, and 8:30 am – Noon on Saturday. Additionally, you will have access to phone, live interactive teller machine (ITM), and online chat support from 8 am – 6 pm Monday – Friday and 8:00 am – 2 pm on Saturday.

A: You will have all the same service options with the added benefits of an expanded branch network, Contact Center, and ATM/ITM network.
Q: Will the merger affect Membership eligibility?
A: Yes, in a very positive way! Centra and NorthPark’s field of Membership will be combined, meaning more people will be eligible for Membership. Due to a regulatory limitation, the township of Decatur in Marion County will not be eligible for Membership, but any existing Members in the township may continue to bank with the Credit Union. Additionally, individuals living in Decatur township may qualify through other Membership eligibility options, such as through an employer.
Q: What is the merger process and timeline?
A: Members of both credit unions will have the chance to vote on the partnership. This is scheduled for December 4, 2023. If Members vote to approve the partnership, then it will become legal on or around January 1, 2024. After that, we will begin working together to integrate and onboard NorthPark Members and Team Members into the Centra family and expand the Onward outreach work.
