The story
Ent Credit Union was founded in 1957 as a community credit union serving Colorado Springs and expanded into a statewide Colorado institution. In 2026, it merged with Wings Credit Union (Minnesota) and rebranded as Wings Credit Union, creating a combined entity with $19B in assets and 92 service centers across Colorado, Minnesota, and other markets. The combined organization retains its community credit union model, offering core deposit, lending, and card products to members without the embedded-finance platform ambitions of fintech competitors.
