Welcome to NuMark Credit Union!

NuMark is headquartered at 1654 Terry Drive, Joliet, Illinois 60436. NuMark serves over 61,000 members and has assets in excess of $875 million.

NuMark operates 12 branches and belongs to two shared branching and ATM networks, which provides members access to 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs worldwide and 5,400 shared branch locations throughout the country. For NuMark’s branch locations and hours, click here.

Lemont was exploring options to gain greater scale in an effort to increase value for its customers, employees and shareholders. Lemont was introduced to NuMark and quickly realized that while NuMark could bring Lemont significant scale and resources to grow Lemont’s operations, Lemont could provide NuMark with competencies, assets and employees that would add significant value to NuMark’s operations in turn.

Michelle Balog is the current President and CEO of NuMark and will continue in that role.

The current Board of Directors of NuMark will remain unchanged as a result of the Transaction. The Board of Directors of Lemont will cease to exist as soon as practicable after closing.

At this time, we do not anticipate significant changes to the staff resulting from the Transaction. While there will be adjustments as NuMark integrates with Lemont, the focus is on creating new opportunities for growth and collaboration. Lemont employees will join together with NuMark employees, sharing a commitment to deliver financial services and expertise to families and small businesses throughout the communities we serve.

No, all of Lemont’s branch locations will be maintained and added to NuMark’s existing branch locations, resulting in a network of 16 service locations throughout Northern and Central Illinois, including 14 full-service branch offices.

Access to NuMark’s products and services, including loans and deposit accounts, requires membership. However, Lemont customers on the date the Transaction is completed will automatically become members of NuMark unless they withdraw their deposit accounts and transfer any loans to another financial institution prior to closing. You may withdraw your deposits at any time before or after the Transaction, whether or not you become a member of NuMark.

Branch signage will change on or before the closing date. Though NuMark may begin installing new signage at Lemont’s branches several days prior to the closing of the Transaction, it must be completely covered and Lemont’s signage will remain as-is until the Transaction has closed.

The headquarters of NuMark will remain at 1654 Terry Drive, Joliet, Illinois 60436, its current headquarters. Click here to see all of our locations.

Every credit union has a membership requirement and who may join is determined by the credit union’s “Field of Membership” (FOM). NuMark’s FOM includes:

• People who live, work, worship or go to school in parts of Northern and Central Illinois or who live, work or worship in parts of Northwest Indiana. See our field of membership map here.
• Employees of more than 450 Select Employer Groups and family members of current members.
  

However, pursuant to Illinois law and policy, all Lemont customers on the date the Transaction is completed will automatically become members of NuMark, unless they withdraw their deposit accounts and transfer any loans to another financial institution prior to closing.

Leading up to the closing of the Transaction, continue to visit Lemont online at www.lemontnationalbank.com. Following the closing of the Transaction and name change, you will still be able to access your online banking information from Lemont’s website address. But soon after closing of the Transaction, you will be re-routed to NuMark’s official website and links to online banking will become accessible from www.numarkcu.org.

See our NuMark website for updates about the progression of the Transaction and systems conversion plans. You will also receive periodic mailings and have access to updates available at all of NuMark’s branch locations. We also send periodic emails with all of our updates and important notices, so please take this opportunity to update your email address on file.

In the short term, Lemont’s customers will experience no impact to their accounts or account numbers. Your account number(s) will remain the same until sometime in the fourth quarter of 2026, the expected date of conversion of accounts to NuMark’s records and systems (the “conversion date”), subject to the closing of the Transaction. NuMark’s team will work to ensure a seamless conversion, so you can conduct business as you always have without any issue on your accounts. NuMark will provide additional information about your accounts prior to the conversion date.

Following the closing of the Transaction, you will continue to have both accounts available for you at NuMark. In the event you have more than $250,000 at NuMark as a result of the Transaction, the excess will not be federally insured by the NCUA through the NCUSIF. NuMark will contact any former Lemont customers who will have greater than $250,000 on deposit as a result of the Transaction to discuss options.

It is anticipated that all loans and other non-deposit accounts will transfer to NuMark upon closing of the Transaction unless you desire to pay-off the loan or close your non-deposit account. However, there may be loans that NuMark may not be permitted to acquire from Lemont due to restrictions imposed by its primary federal regulator, the NCUA. Any impacted customers will be promptly notified if their loan will be sold to another entity.

Previously designated beneficiaries on your Lemont accounts will follow to your account at NuMark. You will not be required to fill out new beneficiary forms.

Through this Transaction you’ll gain access to an expanded suite of consumer financial services, including loans, insurance, credit cards, investment services and more. As a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative, NuMark is able to offer competitive rates and fees.

Yes, your direct deposit and automated regular withdrawals will continue to work without interruption after the closing of the Transaction. After the conversion date, the routing number associated with your account will change to 271985213. After the conversion date, you will likely need to change any recurring payments to your new NuMark account number and to NuMark’s routing number. However, NuMark will work with you to ensure there is no interruption to your electronic direct deposit or automated regular withdrawals.

Lemont customers who currently have safe deposit boxes will continue to be offered safe deposit boxes by NuMark after completion of the Transaction. However, NuMark will not offer safe deposit boxes to customers who do not currently have safe deposit boxes.

Yes, you will continue to be able to use your current checks following the closing of the Transaction. If new checks are necessary after the conversion date, you will receive a complimentary box.

Following closing of the Transaction, employees will be provided with new email addresses that reference the NuMark name, although this process may take some time to implement.

No, there will be no change to employee phone numbers and you will be able to reach all Lemont employees using their current Lemont phone numbers until and after the closing of the Transaction and the conversion date.

Yes, your deposits will continue to be federally insured. NuMark is insured by the NCUA through the NCUSIF. Your deposits will continue to be federally insured to the maximum amount available, currently, to at least $250,000 per member, per account category, and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Please see a helpful comparison guide at the end of this document for reviewing differences between NCUA and FDIC insurance.

Until the conversion date, you will continue to access your online banking as you do now. As of the conversion date, you will have access to NuMark’s secure online and mobile banking platform, which offers many easy and convenient options to help you manage your finances and customize your preferences.

It is NuMark’s current intention to provide all of the products and services currently offered by Lemont following the closing of the Transaction. NuMark may also provide products and services in addition to those currently offered by Lemont.

After the conversion date, your monthly and quarterly statements and notices may have an updated look.
