What the Merger Finder does

✓ Your own CU's merger profileSensei How many of the eight disclosed factors you share with credit unions that acquired or merged, 2019 to 2025. Past tense, factor by factor, with a dispute button if we read a number wrong.
✓ A screener you drive, not an oracle you obeyDojo Pick the factors, set the weights and direction, or load the backtested historical pattern. Every filing credit union comes back ranked as a fact table. No platform label, just your recipe applied to public numbers.
✓ The combined-preview calculatorSensei Pick a partner and see the merged balance sheet: ratios recomputed from the summed call reports, the combined asset band, and where the new entity would rank.
✓ Bank acquisition targetsSensei Community banks ranked by a disclosed, rules-based fit for a credit-union buyer. A published weighting over public FDIC data, plainly labeled a screen, not a model.
Start free, no account needed. The public merger tracker lists every completed deal - who merged into whom, when, and their size. The methodology page shows the whole model: the factors, the coefficient directions, the backtest, and the honest limits.

Every score is a propensity - a ranking against a historical pattern, past tense - never a prediction that a named credit union will merge. About 3.5% of credit unions merge in a given year. The tracker and screener show public NCUA facts only: who merged into whom, when, and at what size. We never publish a distress reason or a platform "succession" label for a named credit union.
