Nusenda Credit Union, a locally-owned financial institution in New Mexico, has purchased Western Heritage Bank, a state-chartered bank headquartered in Las Cruces, N.M.
Western Heritage Bank works to help build businesses ranging from the agriculture industry to manufacturing operations in the border region. When finalized, the combined entities will have 29 branches and over 800 employees to serve more than 260,000 members.
“The combination of our two community-focused institutions that share similar beliefs about customer service, community impact, and employee well-being will be beneficial to Nusenda Credit Union members and to Western Heritage Bank customers in the Borderplex region,” states Joe Christian, president and CEO of Nusenda Credit Union.
