How it all began

In this episode, we meet Gus Hartl, CEO of Aldergrove Credit Union, and Bill Kiss and Jeff Shewfelt, Co-CEOs of G&F Financial Group. They introduce themselves and their organizations and share what brought the two credit unions together to start working towards a merger. Hosted by Alyn Edwards.


The Merger

After years of collaborating, working together, and building a trusted relationship, G&F Financial Group and Aldergrove Credit Union are working towards merging our two credit unions. Working together and collaborating for many years, it is a natural fit and evolution in our partnership.


With a similar alignment on community, employee engagement and development, and providing continued value to members built on trust and relationships, the merger of our two credit unions will enable a greater focus in all these areas, through scale and combined resources. By leveraging our collective strengths, our credit unions look forward to providing greater opportunities for employees, members, and our communities.


The combined credit union has over 145 years of experience serving the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Collectively, we would provide a network of 24 branch locations and four insurance locations, to a combined 52,000+ members, spanning across communities from Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, Surrey, Langley, Aldergrove, Abbotsford, and Mission. Combined total assets under administration would be just under $4 billion.
