Ent CU merged into Wings CUMerged, effective January 2026
Ent Credit Union and Minnesota-based Wings Credit Union completed a merger of equals effective January 1, 2026. Wings members voted to adopt ENT'S charter, so Ent's charter (NCUA 68671, chartered 1957) survived and was renamed — the NCUA Locator now shows charter 68671 as "WINGS," Active, a Colorado state charter. Ent continues doing business as Ent Credit Union at its Colorado service centers while the brand transitions; ent.com page titles now read "Wings Credit Union, previously Ent," the Membership Service Agreement (Rev. 07/13/2026) defines "we, us, our and credit union" as Wings Credit Union throughout, and wingsco.com 301s to ent.com. Existing account numbers, checks, cards, POD/beneficiary designations, and trust account titling remain unchanged, and no service centers close as a result of the merger; full systems integration is expected to take until 2028. Share-insurance note published on every ent.com page: a member holding both legacy Ent and legacy Wings Financial share accounts will have those accounts treated as one account after June 30, 2026, insured to a maximum of $250,000 under NCUA share insurance — an executor totalling a decedent's balances across both legacy institutions should check the combined insured figure rather than assuming separate coverage.
How your Ent CU accounts transfer at death depends on how each one is set up. As a membership-based credit union, Ent CU membership open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in the 25 Colorado counties listed on the communities-we-serve map: Adams, Alamosa, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Conejos, Costilla, Crowley, Custer, Denver, Douglas, El Paso, Elbert, Fremont, Huerfano, Jefferson, Larimer, Las Animas, Mineral, Otero, Pueblo, Rio Grande, Saguache, Teller, and Weld (expanded from 14 counties as of the 2026-09-11 check — the southern Colorado counties are new). Businesses located in those counties may also join. Also open to civilian and military personnel of the Colorado Air National Guard, Colorado Army National Guard, and those associated with Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora. Family members of existing members are eligible. A $5 savings account deposit is required to establish membership. More than 50 service centers along the Front Range; corporate address 11550 Ent Parkway, Colorado Springs, CO 80921. Following the Wings merger the combined credit union also operates in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, but Ent-branded membership and service centers remain Colorado-only. With 12 account types, the transfer rules vary—getting the right designations in place now prevents delays and court involvement later.
Ent CU lets account holders update beneficiary designations in branch and by phone, typically taking 15 to 30 minutes. Trust funding is also available, allowing families to retitle accounts into the name of a revocable living trust.
Ent CU provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.
