New York, NY and Philadelphia, PA – October 1, 2025 – In a historic milestone for the Ukrainian American community, Ukrainian Selfreliance Federal Credit Union and Self Reliance New York Federal Credit have merged as of October 1, 2025, now united under one name, Self Reliance Financial Federal Credit Union.
Self Reliance Financial Federal Credit Union, headquartered in New York City, will operate two regional centers: one in New York City and one in suburban Philadelphia, ensuring localized service and responsiveness to member needs. With $1.9 billion in assets, the credit union will serve over 31,000 members and operate branches across Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
The merger involves aligning two internal systems which will be completed in 2026. Members from each legacy credit union can confidently bank as usual with no immediate changes to accounts, loans, or online banking services.
The unified credit unions have introduced a name and identity that reflects their enduring commitment to the Ukrainian American community and honors their shared heritage. Self Reliance references the legacy of both institutions as well as the guiding principle of the merged credit union.
Self Reliance Financial Federal Credit Union will operate under the leadership of Mr. Anatoli Murha as President & CEO. It also extends its heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Bohdan Kurczak, retiring President & CEO of Self Reliance New York Federal Credit Union, for his many years of dedicated leadership.
The legacy credit unions honor and thank their founders, former Boards of Directors, dedicated colleagues, and members, whose belief in building something better laid the foundation for who they are today.
