We’re thrilled to share that Maps Credit Union is expanding through an exciting new partnership with Lewis & Clark Bank!
Joining Forces for a Stronger Future
Maps and Lewis & Clark Bank have entered into a definitive agreement to join forces! This collaboration will expand our geographic footprint with new branch locations, enhance our commercial and small business offerings, and provide even more Oregonians with personalized, professional service.
We anticipate a transaction closing date in or around the first quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approval. In the meantime, both Maps and Lewis & Clark Bank will continue operating independently, but we’ll be hard at work planning the integration of our two organizations to ensure a seamless transition for all Lewis & Clark Bank customers. We can’t wait to welcome them into Maps!
