The purpose of this research is to review the impact of mergers and acquisitions on credit unions as it applies to the principles of money and banking. Specifically we will review the impact of the merger between E & A Credit Union and First Community Federal Credit Union. Mergers and acquisitions are very common in today’s financial environment. According to the Glenn Christensen (2015), there has been an increase in approved mergers again this year, June 2015 over June 2014. Not only are there more and more mergers, the size of the merger is growing as well (Christensen, 2015). As we look at the history of financial institutions over the years, mergers and acquisitions are very common. Mergers and acquisitions have had a significant impact in the decline of the number of banks since 1985 (Mishkin, 2016). Over the past few decades, thousands of banks merged (Wilcox & Dopico, 2011). Credit unions have seen significant numbers in terms of mergers and acquisitions spanning over many years. In 1969 there were 23,866 credit unions with assets totaling $16 billion (Wilcox & Dopico, 2011). This number dropped dramatically by 2010 to only 7,491 credit unions (Wilcox & Dopico, 2011). The assets grew to $927 billion equaling 7.6% of bank assets in comparison to the only 3% held during 1969 (Wilcox & Dopico, 2011). Although there was a 70% reduction in the number of credit unions, credit unions grew in their share of the market..

The drawbacks of being a small firm however, are such that a problem exists of low membership totals. When a new member joins a credit union, their assets become a resource of the firm. The more assets a credit union can amount, the greater risk it can undertake through loans, the number of and type of loans issued increases and the credit union earns more in interest. Maintaining a steady growth in membership may be especially important to Relay FCU because of the potential effects of an aging membership

The balanced scorecard is a strategic planning and management system that was developed by Dr. Robert S. Kaplan and Dr. David P. Norton in the early 1990's. Their goal was to provide organizations with a clear understanding of what to measure in order to improve performance and results (Balanced Scorecard Institute 2014). The balanced scorecard is a framework that allows an organization to measure performance and compare it to the organization’s strategic objectives and goals (Kinney and Raiborn 2013, 10).
As part of the examination, we reviewed the credit union’s 2017 budget for reasonableness and attainability. The budget projected asset, loan, and share growth of 0.80%, 12.37%, and 0.88%, respectively. YOA was projected to increase to 2.60% and COF was projected to increase to 0.24%, resulting in a NIM of 2.36%. Other income was projected to decrease to 0.80%. Operating expenses were projected to decrease to 2.99% and PLL was budgeted to decrease to 0.13%. These projections resulted in a budgeted ROA ratio of 0.03%, and the net capital ratio was projected to increase slightly to 11.78% respectively. Overall it was determined that the credit union’s budget was reasonable.
