Chairman Andy Doyle Talks About the Benefits of the Merger with CalCom

On July 1, 2013, City of Downey Federal Credit Union (CODFCU) is merging with CalCom Federal Credit Union (CalCom). The Merger with CalCom will add four new branches for CODFCU Members to access and after the Merger CalCom will have over $65 million in assets and over 9,000 Members.

Andy Doyle is the Chairman of the CODFCU Board of Directors. As a Board Member for over 20 years, Andy has seen the credit union grow to $7 million in assets and over 1,000 Members. He also help guide the credit union through the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression with the help of CEO Jon Hernandez. Andy was also a supporter of the decision to merge CODFCU with CalCom effective July 1, 2013.

When asked about the benefits that CODFCU Members would receive, Andy was excited to say “Our Members will have access to new products and services such as Money Market Accounts and VISA Credit Cards.” Andy added that “the combination of the two credit unions would give CODFCU access to CalCom branches throughout Southern California in addition to keeping our current branch locations open.” Doyle also indicated that CODFCU Members would have access to additional services such as:

• A toll free number
• A larger ATM network
• Onsite financial advisor
• Account to account transfers
• Overdraft protection programs
• Quarterly Financial Literacy Seminars

Andy felt that one of the most important aspects of the merger was the fact that Jon Hernandez and the rest of the Credit Union Management Team and Staff will continue
to serve CODFCU Members after the merger. Andy said that “We are fortunate to have
been able to collaboratively share the Management Team and key resources with
CalCom over the last several years. Since this relationship was already in place it will make our transition into CalCom much easier.”

The upcoming Merger will also provide benefits to CalCom because, Andy, Richard Redmayne and Tony Vasquez will become CalCom Volunteers once the merger is complete. The Volunteers, Staff and Membership of CalCom will benefit greatly from their experience and dedication to the credit union movement. When asked to sum up the merger with CalCom Andy said “The merger is truly a win for both credit unions and only make CalCom FCU stronger and provides more access and options to the Members of both credit unions.”
