First General Credit Union, located in Norton Shores, Michigan has recently become an owner of West Michigan-based cooperative CUSO, CU*Answers. The $65 million credit union represents approximately 9,500 members.

First General CU becomes the 129th CU*Answers credit union owner. Scott Page, CU*Answers EVP said: “Our list of credit union owners continues to steadily grow. With six new owners already added during the 2016 fiscal year, there remains a keen desire among credit unions to personally engage in the collaborative processes offered within a true cooperative business model such as CU*Answers. They want to exercise their equal voting privilege and direct input for helping set the future leadership and strategic development direction of their technology partner. For most, this represents a unique and uncommon opportunity to actively participate.”
