Vibe. Widget. Nymeo. These aren’t the names of some new tech products, they’re actually the names of credit unions. They’re among the ten credit union name changes featured in a recent article by The Financial Brand. Here are some of the most unique changes.

Vibe Credit Union

Former Name: Telcom Credit Union

Rationale: “Vibe represents a new energy within our credit union and the opportunity to build our membership base by reaching all age groups.”
