July 2022 - Evergreen CU Named Best-In-State Credit Union

Forbes recently named Evergreen Credit Union to their Best-In-State Credit Unions 2022 for Maine. 

To shine a light on the best credit unions in each state, Forbes went directly to the customers, partnering with market research firm Statista to conduct in-depth interviews of more than 26,000 U.S. citizens from all 50 states on their banking relationships. For every bank or credit union at which they had a checking account, customers provided an overall satisfaction score and were asked if they would recommend that bank or credit union to friends and family. Respondents also answered a detailed battery of questions focused in six separate facets of the relationship: Trust, terms & conditions (including reasonable and transparent fees), branch services, digital services, customer service, and financial advice. Based on a 1-100 scale, scores ranged from 74.2 to 93.6, and just 3.4% of credit unions across the country made the cut for the best-in-state rankings.

Evergreen President and CEO Jason Lindstrom states, “This award results from enhanced staff training, new technologies and our constant focus on delivering every day the experience our account holders expect, whether in person or online.  We’re obviously thrilled.”

Evergreen is the 5th largest credit union in the state based on asset size, serving all Southern Maine.  

July 2022 - Evergreen CU Now Serving More Mainers

Evergreen CU recently expanded its field of membership to include additional counties in Southern Maine. The credit union now serves the following counties:

  • Cumberland
  • York
  • Oxford
  • Androscoggin
  • Sagadahoc

3/13/2020 - An update from our President/CEO

As the world continues to be impacted by the global spread of COVID-19 and now that positive cases have shown up in Maine, I want to assure you that Evergreen Credit Union will continue operations and is here to serve your financial needs.  During this rapidly evolving situation, our main priority is the health, safety, and well-being of our staff and members.

We have decided for the safety of our members, Board of Directors and team to move our Annual Meeting scheduled for March 26, 2020 to a closed session that we will broadcast live using Facebook Live. The meeting will start at 6pm and will be followed by a presentation of annual awards to our Business Partners and Lending Partners and will end with our Advocate of the Year.  We will have a question and answer session at the close of the meeting.  You can find the live broadcast starting at 6pm on March 26th, at facebook.com/EvergreenCUmaine.  In addition, you can view our 2019 Annual Report online here. We felt this would be the best approach to our Annual Meeting and safest way to convey information to everyone. If you cannot attend the Facebook Live session, the recording of the meeting will be available on our Facebook page for viewing at your convenience.

As of today, our branches, operational support teams, and remote channels remain open to serve you without interruption.  However, our staff is practicing social distancing and will be using alternative methods of shaking hands. We are also monitoring staff to make sure we are all healthy, so you remain healthy.

Rest assured that we have taken the necessary steps to serve you safely and securely. In addition to meeting your in-branch, online, and mobile banking needs, Evergreen Credit Union is well prepared to help you without interruption in service.  We've enhanced cleaning at our locations and added hand sanitizers to help keep members and the public in good health. 

Should you or your family be impacted by COVID-19 and need financial support, we're here to help.  Members of our team are ready to provide you financial guidance and discuss any financial arrangements you may need to help you through issues that may arise.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and evaluate additional measures to support our members and community as needs arise.  Please continue to check your emails from us and visit www.egcu.org and our social media profiles (in footer below) for regular updates.  For additional information about COVID-19, you can find the latest report from the CDC or the Maine CDC page.

Evergreen CU Expands Into York County – February 2018

Evergreen Credit Union can now serve the financial needs of anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in York County. The Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions granted this expansion, adding York to Cumberland County where Evergreen has been active for over 64 years. This expansion is effective immediately. 

Jason Lindstrom, President/CEO of Evergreen, believes the expansion into York County is a natural next step, “We are a growing credit union with a lot to offer to both counties.  We recognized that York County is growing and will eventually benefit from an Evergreen Credit Union branch and this expansion begins a move in that direction.” Evergreen’s Board Chair Christopher Doe added “Evergreen looks forward to providing York County with our innovative products and first class service.”

Evergreen Credit Union is one of Maine’s largest credit unions and offers mortgage, consumer, and business services, with branches in Portland, South Portland, Windham and Naples.
