Virginia Credit Union also has branches in Farmville and Fredericksburg in addition to the Richmond area.

The merger was effective May 31, following regulator and shareholder approvals.

“We welcome the Sperry Marine Federal Credit Union members and we look forward to bringing a wider variety of services to new and existing members in the greater Charlottesville area,” Jane Watkins, president and chief executive officer of Virginia Credit Union.
