(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic Chamber Ambassadors were hosted by Community 1st Credit Union on Thursday, December 2nd, 2021, for a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Nishna Valley Credit Union in Atlantic merged with Community 1st of Ottumwa early this fall, and the merge was brought on when both simultaneously reached out to one another about the idea. Nishna Valley Credit Union was looking to advance their services and technology but were finding that due to their size they were not able to fund these changes. Tim Marcsisak and the Nishna Valley Credit Union Board of Directors began to research other credit unions to partner with and found Community 1st would align with their mission and goals.
