Through the remainder of this year, you should continue to conduct your financial transactions as usual. Your accounts will be transferred to Nutmeg after we combine our credit union systems, which is currently scheduled for January 18-20, 2025. After that, you will be able to take advantage of all the new branches, products, and services of our combined credit union.

For the time being, it’s business as usual and you don’t need to take any action. We will let you know about any changes or actions you need to take well in advance as we go through the process of integrating our credit union systems early next year.

There will be no changes to your accounts until we combine our credit union systems in January 2025. We will work hard to make the integration as easy as possible so you can conduct business as you always have. Please look for important information late this year about how your accounts will be impacted, what you need to do, and how you can take advantage of all the new branches, products and services available to you.

There will be no changes to your member number right now. We are still in the planning process for integrating our credit unions and don’t know yet if there will be changes to your member number after we combine our systems in January. If there will be changes, we will let you know well before they are made.

There are no plans to make any changes at our Bristol branches. Our branch hours and staff will remain the same.

Not yet. We first need to convert First Bristol member information to Nutmeg’s database so we can access your information when you visit a Nutmeg branch. You will have full access to all the Nutmeg branches after we combine our systems in early 2025.

Please continue using your checks through the remainder of the year. We are still working out the details around whether there will be a need to issue new checks after we combine our credit union systems in January.
