We are aware of an issue with statements having no transaction history and balances. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working to correct the issue for NHCU members.

Our member call center is experiencing higher than normal call volume due to the merger, we appreciate your patience.

We are pleased to announce that New Horizons Credit Union will merge with Kemba Credit Union. This merger will allow New Horizons members access to the additional benefits and services that Kemba members presently enjoy.

Your Board of Directors are very excited about this merger. We are pleased with the many benefits that joining these two institutions will provide. These benefits include access to Kemba products and services and the convenience of 10 additional locations across Greater Cincinnati. Both New Horizons Credit Union and Kemba Credit Union have a wonderful tradition of serving our members’ needs and we share a similar operating style and a strong “members-first” Credit Union philosophy.

The effective date of the merger will be November 1, 2021. All Kemba products, services and office locations will be available to the New Horizons membership effective November 1, 2021. New Horizons CU staff will transition over to Kemba staff, and all New Horizons branch offices will be rebranded as Kemba Credit Union.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING THE MERGER

Will the members keep their same account numbers?

Majority of members will be able to keep their same account numbers. If there are duplicate account numbers between credit unions, we will notify the affected members and provide them with their new account number.

Will the members’ automated payments, direct deposits and checks continue to occur and clear without interruption after the system conversion?

Yes. New Horizons Credit Union’s Routing and Transit number will continue to be valid and processed by the Federal Reserve after the merger. New Horizons members can continue to use existing checks even after the system merger. Automated payments and direct deposits will also continue to be processed after the system merger without the member having to notify vendors, employer, etc. As New Horizon members reorder checks through the credit union, the checks will automatically have the new Kemba R&T number on them.

Will NHCU member’s online/mobile banking username and password be the same?

No. On November 1st New Horizons members will need to create a new online banking ID and Password on the Kemba website or the mobile app. At that time, NHCU members can enroll in electronic statement and set E-Alert preferences. A current email address will need to be on file for the member to set up online banking.

Will NHCU members have access to archived electronic statements?

Yes. Within online/mobile banking NHCU members will have access to the prior 3 years of NHCU statements.

Will NHCU member’s current Online Bill Payment payees transfer over to Kemba?

Will any branches be closed and what will branch hours be?

Kemba branch hours vary by location. New Horizons branch hours will remain the same at this time.

Starting November 1st, 2021, Kemba’s current fee schedule will go into effect for all New Horizon’s members.
