MetroWest Community Federal Credit Union Announces Intent to Merge with St. Mary’s Credit Union
Merger Will Expand Member Access and Strengthen Community Commitment
Framingham, MA — August 18, 2025 — MetroWest Community Federal Credit Union (Framingham, MA) announced today its plans to merge with St. Mary’s Credit Union (Marlborough, MA), pending regulatory and member approval. This strategic partnership will unite two mission-driven credit unions that share a commitment to exceptional member service, community investment, and financial wellness.
The combined organization will operate under the St. Mary’s Credit Union name and retain St. Mary’s Credit Union’s charter. With assets totaling more than $1.1 billion, the merged credit union will serve over 60,000 members across 8 branch locations, offering a broader ATM network, enhanced digital banking tools, and expanded products and services.
“We’re proud of our legacy at MetroWest Community Federal Credit Union and confident this next step will strengthen our ability to serve our members and communities for years to come,” said Michael Forman, Chairman of the Board of MetroWest Community Federal Credit Union. “It is getting increasingly difficult for smaller credit unions to remain independent. We knew it was time to find a merger partner to continue to best serve our members — and we found the perfect partner in St. Mary’s Credit Union.”
Benefits to Members Will Include:
Expanded branch and ATM network
Broader range of financial products and services
Enhanced online and mobile banking platforms
Continued personal service from the same friendly staff you know and trust
“Both organizations have a long-standing history of community engagement and financial advocacy,” noted Jerry Richer, Chairman of the Board of Directors at St. Mary’s Credit Union. “This merger will preserve that legacy while increasing capacity to offer financial education, member outreach, and innovative services tailored to meet the evolving needs of our members.”
Pending final regulatory approval, the merger is expected to be completed by early 2026. Members will receive regular updates throughout the process, and information will be posted on both credit unions’ websites

Home Warranty Renewal scam
We are aware of a “Home Warranty Renewal” scam in which members receive a mailer indicating that their home warranty may be expiring or may have already expired and to take action.
The mailer indicates to call 1(800) 301-5412 to renew the home warranty and provides a “Renewal Free Voucher” for a specified amount of money at the bottom.
This mailer uses mortgage information obtained through public records. Members should refrain from calling the number listed and providing personal information. This is not associated with MetroWest Community Federal Credit Union and should be discarded.
If you receive a letter claiming to be MetroWest Community Federal Credit Union that asks for any information listed above, do not respond. Call us directly at (508) 879-5522.
