MERHO Federal Credit Union was established in 1972 by employees of the former Mercy Hospital. That is how the name MERHO came to be. Credit unions have been known for taking the name of the employee group they mainly serve. Back in 1983 MERHO combined with the Memorial Hospital Credit Union. Shortly after we welcomed members from Windber hospital, Cambria Residential Services, Laurelwood, Presbyterian Home, Atlantic Broadband and Bishop McCort High School to name a few. MERHO membership is like being welcomed into a large extended family. We now have a membership of plus 6,000 and assets of 45 million.
