Spire and Hiway credit unions will be rebranded as Blaze Credit Union once the merger is made official on Jan. 1.
The combined credit union will have about $4 billion in assets and serve nearly a quarter of a million members in Minnesota.
That will make it the state’s fourth largest credit union.
Blaze will retain all of Spire and Hiway’s 600-plus employees, and all 26 branches will remain in operation.
Hiway members approved the merger in a vote in September.
