The Dalles, Ore., July 29, 2024 —Rivermark Credit Union has received state and federal regulatory approval to pursue a merger with Advantis Credit Union, according to Rivermark CEO Seth Schaefer.
Locally, Rivermark has branches in The Dalles and Maupin.
”This is another exciting milestone in our journey to join forces to do more good − for our members and our community,” Schaefer said in a recent email.
