Let's Believe in Better - Together

Following the merger of Charlotte Metro and Premier FCU, we knew we needed a brand that would embrace all of the communities we serve while symbolizing our mission to teach, guide, direct and educate our consumers so they may live a richer, more meaningful and expansive lifestyle.

The new Skyla brand embodies our vision – building financial freedom for all – by providing the support and personalized banking experience to help you plan, implement, and actually achieve your goals. At Skyla, we’re your friendly, neighborhood credit union – here to make things possible! We’re focused on meeting you wherever you are in your financial journey with the tools, guidance and resources that turn possibility into reality. Let’s Believe in Better – Together!

is it an acronym?

Nope! It’s not an acronym or short for anything. Skyla is an upbeat, affirmative, and aspirational name that speaks to the limitlessness that our consumers long for. Skyla is warm, relatable, and welcoming. With Skyla, you are free to face the future, knowing there is both support and opportunity ahead.

We’re excited for what the future holds and we hope you are, too!

In August 2021, Charlotte Metro and Premier FCU merged, and we’ve been a hodge-podge of logos ever since! A name change was always planned, it just took a bit longer than expected. Today, we have a combined 17 branch locations across the Carolinas - not just in the Charlotte region. The launch of our new name signifies both the unification of our organizations and better supports our footprint.

We do want to assure you that - with this new name - we’re not forgetting any of Charlotte Metro’s or Premier FCU’s strong, local roots and history, but we are incredibly excited for what the future holds. We hope you will be as well!

Great question! We started this new name exploration at the same time as the merger. Unfortunately, we weren’t the only ones trying to trademark a new name at that time. After a few hurdles and lots of waiting, we can hardly wait to finally share it with you!

Nope! Charlotte Metro was not purchased by any other financial institution. We simply chose to rename our credit union to signify the unification from our merger with Premier FCU and to help expand our footprint outside of the Charlotte region.
