Merger Facilitation

Spreading expense over a larger number of customers helps make today’s heightened product and service expectations more affordable. Consequently, many credit unions are combining forces through mergers. As the intermediary, D. Hilton Associates assists both credit unions wishing to acquire other organizations, and those credit unions wishing to be acquired, by finding a merger partner that provides the most benefit to its customers.

 

Our experienced staff streamlines the merger process for your credit union by handling many of the most time-consuming challenges. We’ll conduct the research and prepare clear and concise documentation showing you the benefits of the merger. We also provide support for communicating relevant information to various credit union stakeholders, and serve as a neutral third party to assist in the negotiation of difficult merger issues. Our merger services include:

 

  • Merger Partner Negotiation
  • Merger Application Development and Submission

Strategic Planning

D. Hilton Associates’ extensive background in the financial services industry has revealed to us that the vast majority of credit unions need to evolve their planning processes, systems and people in order to best serve the credit union’s membership.

D. Hilton Associates’ proven strategic planning model develops an unbiased case for current and future product lines, delivery channels and brand positioning based on sound business principles.

  • Marketing/Brand Expansion (Assessment of Current Brand)
  • Product Line Strengths and Weaknesses (Identifying New Income Opportunities)
  • Human Resources Assessment Relative to Sales and Service Initiatives
