\u201cWe are excited to reach this pivotal moment,\u201d said Steve Moseley, President and CEO of MIDFLORIDA Credit Union. \u201cThis regulatory approval reflects the confidence that governing authorities have in our vision and our ability to deliver exceptional service to even more Floridians.

With the closing date established, the two organizations will move swiftly toward a late April system conversion, after which Prime Meridian customers will gain access to all MIDFLORIDA branches and existing MIDFLORIDA members will benefit from new locations in Tallahassee and Crawfordville\u2014significantly strengthening MIDFLORIDA\u2019s presence across North Florida and the Panhandle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIDFLORIDA\u2019s growth strategy continues to be guided by its member-first values and commitment to community, expanding access to personalized financial services, enhanced digital banking tools, and the robust product suite MIDFLORIDA members already enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want our new members and communities to know that this is a true expansion of MIDFLORIDA, not a departure from the service and care they deserve,\u201d Moseley added. \u201cWe are honored to welcome the Prime Meridian customers and team members into our credit union family, and we look forward to partnering with them as we continue to grow together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
