Region’s Largest Credit Union Adopts New Name

One of the Copper Country’s largest financial institutions has a new name. 

As of yesterday, the Michigan Tech Employees Federal Credit Union is now officially known as Breakwater Credit Union. 

Breakwater President and CEO David Rautiola says the old name reflected the roots of the organization…

Over the years, the scope of the credit union expanded. It’s long been open to anyone who lives or works in Houghton, Keweenaw and Baraga Counties, but the MTU name still implied some limitations…

Credit Unions are owned by their members, so there’s no ownership change involved. Staff and services will remain the same as before.
